FC Barcelona is actively searching for a coach to lead the team starting next season. One of the names being considered to assume this responsibility is Hansi Flick. However, his candidacy appears to be gradually losing steam
Hansi Flick Seems to be one of the better trainers positioned to take the relief of Xavi Hernández in the bench of the FC Barcelona. The German, when being free and explain experience like agent in a club of elite (the Bayern Munich) and in the German selection, presents like an attractive option to assume the charge that will remain free from the next 30 June. Nevertheless, it is not the only option that is being considered by the Barcelona directive.
Recently, the portal web 'Footmercato' informed that the native of Heidelberg travelled to the City Condal to gather with Joan Laporta, president of the club, in a meeting in which it also would have been present the representative of the technical director, Pini Zahavi. However, near people to the exentrenador of the 'Mannschaft' have denied the realisation of this meeting as it has informed in 'Sportive World'.
It is losing it forces the candidature of Flick like trainer of the FC Barcelona?
It is necessary to stand out that it is not the first time that deny the possible contacts between the German trainer and the members of the directive of the Barcelona. Besides, in the last days, have begun to circulate informations from diverse sources that indicate that the candidature of Hansi Flick has lost weight like option, possibly because of a distinguished appearance by Deco in his moment with regard to the research of trainer: "it Matters that it know the football of other countries and have trained in other places. It matters also the quality, the ambition... There is not a portrait robot". This could be an obstacle for Flick, since it never has managed to a group out of the floor germano.
Besides, as it commented in 'SPORT', from the directive of the FC Barcelona do not consider that Hansi Flick was the ideal profile to assume the bench culé because of his supposed fault of bet by the young players. This is an important subject in the Barça, where abound the young talents, and considers almost a requirement innegociable continue promoting to players of The Masia, motivated also by the fact of the economic limitations of the club to make big signings. It suits to remember that during his stage in the 'Die Roten', Flick explained mainly with players experienced and did not have to resort to the use of young players, except cases very punctual like the one of the 'jewel' German, Jamal Musiala.
In the meantime, it knows that the FC Barcelona has a wide list of options, in which Flick has lost something of terrain in front of names like Roberto Of Zerbi, Thomas Tuchel and even options less likely like Luis Enrique or Mikel Arteta. Nevertheless, the exentrenador of the Hoffenheim keeps on being a viable option for the Barcelona cast, that is evaluating patiently the name that would be adapted to manage the next sportive project of the club.
