Thiago Motta could have already 'fallen' as a possible replacement for Xavi at Barça

Since last Saturday night has opened a casting for coach FC Barcelona in which house names, as Thiago Motta or Rafa Marquez, have entered the list. Both the Italian and the Mexican answer to a profile of man of the club, for his philosophy of game based on the DNA Barça. Mainly for the 4-3-3 as a system in attack phase and its game proposal, although that does not mean that they have everything to join the culé project.

In fact, the journalist Fabrizio Romano, probably the largest market specialist in the world, has revealed that in the case of Motta there is no road that can lead him now amismo to Barcelona. "Everything can change in football, but at the moment, he is not a candidate," said the Italian regarding his compatriot, who is currently in charge of the sports project of Bologna Serie A.

Barça will not have a former footballer back on the bench

And that is that this present of the former midfielder of Barça in the Italian team make their future is very far from what the team seeks in terms of availability and clarity to start a negotiation in the coming weeks. That is why everything points to the coach born in Brazil continuing his way in Italian football, and not in Barça.

It is also worth remembering that Motta was also positioned as an option for the bench of Barça for his close relationship with Deco, current sports director of the culé institution, and be an important man in the costumes of the first stage of Joan Laporta at the head of the Catalan ensemble. In the same way it should be noted that the former PSG has managed to implement the position game as the basis of his idea, reaching really remarkable results in the Serie A, as the 8th place he looks right now with the team from northern Italy, having options to access one of the continental tournaments.

Days pass and names keep falling

But following that line of information from Romano, Barça’s list for his new coach continues to shrink rapidly. Without being able to consider the Italian, names such as Mikel Arteta and Thomas Tuchel should also be set aside, two men who in recent days publicly denied any possible relationship with the position and to abandon their current projects in Arsenal and Bayern of Munich, respectively.
