Football Barcelona is trying to keep up with Real Madrid and close the gap. However, the two clubs are in completely different situations, and the Spanish capital’s team is much better off in all respects. Moreover, the Catalans have to look for a new coach. Have they found one? Quite possibly.
The two biggest clubs in Spain are still fighting an interesting battle for the title. While last year Xavi Hernández led his charges to victory in LaLiga, this year it seems that Real Madrid will be the king of their country. Barcelona, however, are doing what they can to ensure that this is not the case.
It is worth mentioning that with the limited resources at the Catalan giant’s disposal, Xavi is performing superbly. Yet he is under constant pressure. There is constant speculation about all sorts of problems. The former outstanding midfielder is still under scrutiny.
That’s why he decided to make an interesting move. In January, he announced that he would leave the club after the season. He also explained the reasons for his decision. Barcelona must now decide what to do next.
They currently have 57 points, having beaten Getafe 4-0 on Saturday. They are 5 points behind Real Madrid, who have a game in hand. However, this will not be so important in the search for Xavi’s successor. The question is who will want to play in such difficult conditions.
Barcelona have already been binned once. Besides, there has been speculation for a while about the return of a legend who has already been at the club. Now, however, two new names are being bandied about.
Barcelona is looking for a coach. Has it found the right one?
Like Xavi, Thomas Tuchel (Bayern Munich) and Jürgen Klopp (Liverpool) have decided to make the move to leave their clubs in the summer. The latter wants to take a break, but the former, on the other hand, has been linked with taking over the Catalan big club.
At the moment, Hansi Flick, the former Bayern Munich and German national team coach, who is currently without a contract, is reportedly the favourite to become the new coach. In particular, he has done well in the Bavarian team and has made a huge impression.
It was Flick’s agent Pini Zahavi who visited the Barcelona vs Getafe match in Catalonia, in which the home team won 4:0. Zahavi has only been the German coach’s agent for a short time. His visit was reported by Mundo Deportivo.
Zahavi reportedly has a close relationship with club president Joan Laporta. He and sporting director Deco have not yet decided who will take over the Catalan side, but according to Spanish media, Flick is in an excellent position to be the frontrunner.
