After the announcement of Xavi’s departure at the end of the season, FC Barcelona leaders have settled on two coaches: president Joan Laporta wants to hire Hansi Flick, while sporting director Deco hopes for Sergio Conceiçao.
Before Xavi’s announcement of his departure from FC Barcelona at the end of the season, Thiago Motta and Rafael Marquez (the reserve coach) were expected to take over on the Blaugranas bench. Nine days later, the leaders of the Catalan club have already decided to entrust the reins of the team to… Hansi Flick or Sergio Conceiçao!
As indicated Ace, FCB president Joan Laporta prefers an experienced coach and has decided to hire a German technician. Thomas Tuchel (stationed at Bayern) and Julian Naggelsmann (Mannschaft coach) have already been considered, as has Jürgen Klopp, who will leave Liverpool. But it is therefore Flick who is Laporta’s choice. He is the Bayern coach who inflicted the historic 8-2 on Barça in 2020…
Decor under the influence of Jorge Mendes?
Sports director of the Camp Nou residents since last summer, Deco wants to recruit his compatriot Sergio Conceiçao, who has nevertheless been contested for seasons at FC Porto (where he has been stationed since 2017). The former Brazilian-Portuguese midfielder has ruled out other avenues in recent days, such as that leading to Mikel Arteta, a former member of the club who is shining at the head of Arsenal.
With Deco and Conceiçao, it is the shadow of Jorge Mendes which still looms over Barcelona… The former Inter winger is also represented by the Portuguese super agent, who brought in Joao Félix on loan (but who does not failed to extricate Bernardo Silva from Manchester City). As concluded Aceit is Laporta who could impose his choice.
