Calendar of FC Barcelona

Still there is not consensus in the directive of the FC Barcelona on the ideal profile that has to have the next trainer of the Barcelona group. As it advances 'ACE', so much Joan Laporta like Deco have several names in mind, but with periles radically opposite, a factor that can complicate the arrival of the trainer that relieve to Xavi Hernández in June.

To keep the discrepancies between the president and the sportive director, the decision can condemn to the next technician culé to have the label to be the 'bet' of one of the two directors, which would do that the trainer was questioned with more hardness in his first months. On the one hand, Laporta bends for hiring a technician with experience and character, able to assume the control of the changing room and to give back him the illusion to the people in little time.

In this sense, the Barcelona mandator thinks that, after Xavi, the ideal is to go to by a technician with a higher profile, whereas Deco prefers to follow the line to have a young trainer, with cool ideas and that it can adapt so much to the style of game as to the requirements of the club. Besides, this would guarantee him to the sportive director a stronger interference in the preparation of the staff, whereas a technician with more route can put fetters to work, literally, with what there is.

Laporta Bends by the 'German efficiency'

For the Barcelona mandator, the name that more calls him the attention is Hansi Flick. In spite of his bad experience like seleccionador German, the ex trainer of the Bayern Munich has in his have a sextete won with the Bavarians during the pandemia, including the famous 2-8 in Champions to the Barça in 2020. Another alternative that likes a lot to Laporta is Jürgen Klopp, although it is clear that, the most likely, is that the trainer of the Liverpool prefer to take a year sábatico after leaving of Merseyside in June.

Deco Prefers to bet by the young talent

By his part, Deco has to Sérgio Conceiçao like the ideal option to assume the reins of the Barça in summer. The technician of the Port wine coincided with the current sportive director culé in the 'dragons' in the season 2003/04, where both won the Champions of the hand of José Mourinho. Like trainer, Conceiçao great three titles of League and three local Glasses from his arrival to the club in 2017, with a balance of 259 victories, 47 ties and 51 defeats in 357 parties.

The 'Spanish option' loses weight in the directive

Less feasible luce the possibility to hire to a Spanish technician to replace to Xavi. Laporta Dreams with the return of Pep Guardiola, but is clear that the Catalan will not move of the Manchester City, at least, until 2025. Also they have sounded the names of Mikel Arteta, Imanol Aguacil or Míchel, all they with valid agreements with his respective clubs and without generating sufficient confidence in the Barcelona directive.
