Thiago Motta, Laporta's 'favorite' to 'relieve' Xavi
Xavi Hernández's position as coach of FC Barcelona is not in danger, but Thiago Motta's name would remain on the Blaugrana agenda as an emergency relief, according to information from Cadena SER
To day of today, the FC Barcelona does not value the possibility of destituir to Xavi Hernández, even after 'escaped' the titles of the Supercopa of Spain and Glass of the King in less than two weeks. The cúpula Barcelona keeps the confidence in the trainer egarense and understand that it will find the formula for revertir the 'crisis' by which crosses the team. Has the talent, because the staff is prepared to assume the challenge, but has to find the form of 'counter' the current problems of the team -lacking of defensive forcefulness, disconnections, fault of creativity- and litigate by the trophies that still are still in game.
LaLiga And Champions League are still in dispute and inside the Catalan picture do not lose the 'hopes' to litigate them. Xavi has the sufficient credit to be the one who was to the control of the team and that is the message that send from the high spheres of the club. The situation will go back to analyse in the month of June, with the season finish and the titles -or no- on the table. It will be the moment to take the decisions and Joan Laporta will have authority to decide what creates more convenient for the Barça, with or without the one of Terrassa in the bench for the 2024/2025.
Thiago Motta wins whole in the Barça
In the middle of the uncertainty, have been varied the names that have sounded to relieve to Xavi in case that, finally, finish leaving of the City Condal in the short term. From 'Esport 3' had informed does some days that Thiago Motta was in the 'pole position' to occupy the charge, by in front of Rafa Márquez, put 'raised' the interest of the sportive director of the club, Deco. Now, desde 'The Crossbar' of the Chain BE signal that the Brazilian, current trainer of the Bologna of the Series To, insist in that it could be the elected of the Managerial Board of Joan Laporta.

For the Barça is paramount to win a title in this season and, for the moment, LaLiga and Champions League are the only that remain at stake. In the domestic championship, the leadership is to eight points (with a party less) and would have to do a second perfect turn, trusting that so much Girona like Real Madrid will leave points on the way. In Europe, the history is distinct and it will be necessary to go step by step, with the Napoli like first worthy rival of a final.
Tranquility in the Barça
For the moment, the subject of the trainer is not an urgency for the Barça. It would have to produce a twist of guion unexpected so that the one of Terrassa do not finish the season to the control and is not descartado that can follow a year more. In the club trust fully in the figure of Xavi, because it has showed that is in capacity to face the challenge and is an alive legend of the team, in addition to having been the 'commissioned' to give back the titles to the vitrina after the drought in the last years.
