Who will be the next FC Barcelona coach? Since the announcement of Xavi’s departure at the end of the season, it’s been a big dance of names for Catalonia. The local media have mentioned around ten coaches who could take over from the former midfielder. From Roberto De Zerbi to Mikel Arteta via the Rafa Marquez or Imanol Alguacil options.
“There are not that many top coaches on the market. Most are under contract, there are not many people available. Barça has a style that everyone knows. But there is no robot portrait of the ideal coach. Nationality does not count, what counts is quality, ambition”, recently confided Deco, sporting director of the Catalan club. But obviously, there is still one that caught the eye of the people of Barcelona.
A meeting has already taken place
According to our information, Hansi Flick recently had a meeting with Barcelona president Joan Laporta. A meeting that took place in recent days in Barcelona, and during which the German tactician was accompanied by his agent. The former Bayern Munich and German team, who notably won 2 Bundesligas with the Bavarians, is very pleasing to the Catalan staff.
We are also able to reveal to you that Massimiliano Allegri was proposed to the thinking heads of the Barcelona project. But the profile of the Juventus coach is not unanimous internally in Barcelona. There are a few points in his profile that make management not completely convinced. There is no doubt that the casting will continue for a while.
