Barcelona surprises and works behind the scenes to arrange the return of a historic coach
The Spanish club is already preparing for Xavi’s departure and is beginning to intensify the search for a new name
Searches in the ball market
Barcelona continues to search for a new coach for the next season of European football . Heavily criticized by the fans, Xavi has already warned that he will not stay.
In the current season, despite still fighting for the Champions League title , the Spanish team has been lacking in La Liga. Yesterday, the team played out a goalless draw with Athletic Bilbao.
In this way, Laporta’s team remained in third place, being one point below Girona and eight behind Real Madrid, the great leader. The title chances are remote.
Meanwhile, the Board continues to evaluate names for the technical command. After rumors involving De Zerbi, an old acquaintance gains strength internally.
Barcelona wants its idol to return
As reported by Spanish portal Fichajes, Deco’s priority is the return of Luis Enrique , who currently works in France managing Paris Saint-Germain.
According to the source, Barcelona’s own dressing room welcomes the return of the Spaniard, who was the leader of that historic team formed by the ‘MSN’ trio. Negotiations may begin soon.
What could make his return difficult is the fact that the Spaniard has a contract with PSG until 2025. On the other hand, Luis Enrique has always left open the possibility of one day returning to Camp Nou .
In the current season, under the command of PSG, the coach has played 35 matches, with 23 victories achieved. In his last year at Barcelona, there were 42 triumphs in 59 games.
