Flick vs De Zerbi: Pros and cons of Barça's two favorite coaches

The directive of the FC Barcelona debate, to these heights, between several names like possible successors of Xavi Hernández. Two of the trainers that sound with more strength are Hans-Dieter Flick and Roberto Of Zerbi, contrasting with the two profiles that handles the club like priority. On the one hand, fichar to a trainer with experience and an important list of winners that can impose character in the changing room.

To his time, also values the possibility to bet, again, by a young technician and of low profile, but with a compatible idea with the Barcelona model. Flick Has a lot of more comfort to negotiate like free agent, whereas Of Zerbi would have to resolve his exit of the Brighton a pair of years before finish agreement. To continuation, review the pros and contras of both technicians to assume the reins of the Barça in summer.

The option Of Zerbi is more viable in the financial

In principle, for the economy of the Barça, seems much simpler to negotiate with Of Zerbi that with Flick by a question netamente salarial. In principle, the one of Brescia could sign by a near wage to the 3-4 million net euros to the year, very similar to the that perceives at present Xavi. Hansi, instead, invoiceed 6.5 'kilos' annual with Germany, being the seleccionador better paid last World-wide. Besides, another point for is that the agents of the Italian are Edmundo Kabchi and Edoardo Crnjar, also representatives of Ronald Araújo.

Nevertheless, the signature of Flick with Pini Zahavi, the representative of Robert Lewandowski, also can help a lot in the negotiation with the German technician. The germano changed of agent this week to sign with the Israeli employer, with the one who Joan Laporta keeps an excellent relation. This yes, in his country think that the trainer of 58 years is, for the time being, more near to return to the Bayern Munich that of fichar by any another club.

Flick Takes advantage thanks to his list of winners

Although the Italian has a more extensive path in clubs, with a total of seven different teams directed (five in his country) and more than an uninterruptible decade in the benches, for the directive the curriculum of Flick weighs much more, logically, by the list of winners. In addition to his historical sextete with the Bayern in 2020, the one of Heidelberg has in his vitrinas the Glass of the World obtained in 2014 like assistant of Joachim Löw.

Instead, Of Zerbi grieve has raised a pair of official trophies from his debut in the benches in 2013. The first was the championship of the Glass Ialia Series C (fourth division) with the Foggia Calcium. In 2021, the one of Brescia won the Supercopa Ukrainian with the Shakhatr Donetsk, club in where only it was a year (directed 30 parties).

By style, both would fit well in the model Barça

Regarding the style, so much Hansi Flick like Roberto Of Zerbi can adapt quickly to the model Barça and to the dynamics of the Spanish football. In the case of the German, his style of game ultra offensive prioritises the possession and the high pressure like main arms to control the parties. By his part, to Of Zerbi also likes him that his directed are leading from the possession, a characteristic that showed from his go through the Sassuolo and the Shakhtar Donetsk.

No in vain, this season, the Brighton is the second team with greater possession in the Premier League (61 %), only surpassed by the Manchester City (65 %). Besides, both trainers have the diagram 4-3-3 like drawing preferred, although the 4-2-3-1 also is usual for the two trainers. Even the 3-4-3 is a variant that so much the Italian like the germano see with good eyes, according to the circumstances, something that has tested, without luck, Xavi Hernández this season.
