'SPORT' has revealed that FC Barcelona has ruled out the possible arrival of Sergio Conceiçao to occupy the bench from the 2024/2025 season. The Portuguese is no longer on the list of future prospects

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Since Xavi Hernández announced that it will abandon the bench of the FC Barcelona when it finish the present season, have been a lot of the names that have added to the list of possible candidates to sucederle in the charge. Sergio Conceiçao, current trainer of the Port wine, has gone in between the candidates, but new informations suggest that in the Barcelona dispatches already have him descartado.

It is not a secret for anybody that the research of a new trainer is a task complicated for the Barça and that will take more time of what foresees , because they will go in at stake so much the sportive section like the economic. Joan Laporta and Deco are working of tireless way and in this last week already have taken several decisions, like the descarte of Thiago Motta, Rafa Márquez and now Conceiçao, the one who had been offered by his agent, Jorge Mendes.

Joan Laporta answers to Jorge Mendes

The agreement of Conceiçao with the Carry wins on 30 June of this year and turned him into one of the most affordable alternatives in the market for the Catalans, but has not had transcendence inside the club. 'SPORT' Has informed that the Catalan president has given the answer to the offer of Mendes: it has appreciated Him by the ofrecimiento, but the possibility that the born in Coímbra occupy the bench blaugrana is not on the table. The posture of the club is clear, as already it went it with the others trainers descartados.

The reasons are very clear. From the Barça understand that the model and idea of game of the Portuguese trainer no 'house' with the style of the Barcelona picture, although in more than an occasion in this season (and in the previous) Xavi Hernández has bet for playing with a square in the centre of the field and a system more 'seemed' to the 4-4-2 that to the 4-3-3 of all the life for the picture blaugrana. However, the 'dream' of Laporta and company is that it play with two extremes and a forward.

The Barça gives the last word

What yes calls the attention in the Barça on the trainer of 49 years is his character and capacity of 'raise' to the changing rooms, but also the advantage of his teams, that tend to presionar high and constantly. His Port wine always has been very 'physical', with speed and is very 'worked' tácticamente. They are varied the pros and against, but for the moment Joan Laporta and company decant by not to bring him to the City Condal.
