Xavi has admitted his job as a coach is in jeopardy if he doesn't guide FC Barcelona to titles.

Although there have been positive signs at times, things haven't gone as well as Xavi had hoped when he replaced Ronald Koeman as Barça coach in November last year. Despite expensive spending in the summer, his side are close to being eliminated from the group stage of the Champions League.

In the domestic league, after the 3-1 defeat in the Clasico against Carlo Ancelotti and Co., they are only three points behind Real Madrid, but the bankruptcy in a direct duel obviously hurts the Barça soul extremely.

Despite the current turbulent period, Xavi's aim for this season is still winning trophies.

"Yeah, that hasn't changed," he told the press. "I'll repeat it again: the aim is to win titles with the team, with these players. We have to win titles!"

The Spaniard is aware that he would lose his job if he didn't do it. "I think we have built a team capable of winning titles," he said. "I'm still full of enthusiasm even though there has been a lot of criticism this week. Everyone is encouraging me. My cell phone messages look like a relative has died."

"If I don't make it, there will be consequences," Xavi knew, "but I remain calm. I think we have the squad to win titles. If we don't win them, another coach will come and try. "
