SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN BARÇA
The two 'punished' from Xavi's organizational chart after the arrival of Tous and Martínez
In the absence of official confirmation, Xavi Hernández's staff will be modified starting next season with the incorporation of Julio Tous and Raúl Martínez. They are the two culés who will end up 'sacrificed'
The FC Barcelona confirmed the continuity of Xavi Hernández, the one who will fulfil his agreement like trainer of the first team until, in principle, on 30 June 2025. The one of Terrassa has the absolute confidence of Joan Laporta and the managerial board to give continuity to the project started in November of 2021. The intention is that it was on a long-term basis, but for this will be necessary the modifications and changes with the aim to improve what there is now.
The physical factor and the big number of injuries of the players, by long stretches, is the point that more concern and interests to the cúpula zaugrana. They understand that it can improve the process of recovery of the footballers and, such as it has trascended in the last hours, will incorporate in the staff to two 'signings' for the technical body: Raúl Martínez, fisioterapeuta, and Julio Tous, preparador physical. The two will be key pillars for the 'recovery' of the players in the next course.
The 'sacrificed' in the Barça
The entrance of both causes a restructuring of the organisation chart of the technical body of Xavi Hernández very important. And it is that it does not be necessary to overlook that Iván Torres 'will lose' his charge in hands of a Tous that will be in command of the physical preparation of the culés. Already it showed his imponente work in Chelsea of Antonio Conte and the aim is that it repeat it in the Barça. This will cause that Torres 'go down' of stair and keep supervising the trainings, although by behind the new signing.
On the other hand, it is the case of Rául Martínez, the one who assumes the responsibilities of Carlos Nogueira. The aim with his landing in the City Condal, as they explain from the daily ACE, is maximizar the processes of recovery of the players lesionados and avoid, at all costs, the relapses. The 'sacrificed', equally, will look the tasks of physiotherapy from a stair underneath.
Óscar will follow like second trainer
What will not change is the main structure of the technical body, in spite of the informations that suggested that the Barça wanted to 'load' to Óscar Hernández, assistant of Xavi, to hire to Domènec Torrent like second trainer. They will keep the two brothers working of the hand as they have come it doing from November of 2021.
