BARCELONA – The club’s idol service is the only option left for the successor to the Dutchman who lost to FC Barcelona after his departure from coach Ronald Koeman.
“I know the name of the key is mentioned everywhere. But there are other ways, ”said Joan Laborda, president of the Spanish club of national goalkeeper Marc-Andre der Stegen. However, the club boss did not mention any name. “Out of respect for the candidates and I do not want to disrupt the talks, I will remain silent about it,” Laborda said.
The club boss promised that the split from Coman was “very compliant”. “He told me he was sympathetic to our decision because of the (bad) results.” The president did not want to say anything to the 58-year-old about the severance pay by the association in financial crisis. “The talks are still going on, but they are secret.”
Serve in Qatar under contract until 2023
Xavier Hernandez, 41, has the best chance of coming next to Gomez, according to Spanish special newspapers. However, the world champion is under contract as the head coach of Al-Saad SC from 2010 to 2023 in Qatar. However, according to the media, initial change is already being negotiated.
Meanwhile, former Bayern coach Pep Cardiola is confident his former supporter will know what it takes to lead Barசாa back to victory. “I have no doubt he is well prepared. He knows the club, it is very important, he has an understanding and a lot of interest in football,” the Manchester City coach and formerly successful Barcelona coach was quoted as saying by Mundo Deportivo. The service has more experience than I had when I took charge of the team. ”
But if things don’t work out with Xavi, Barசாa’s vision has been reported on former Argentine player Marcelo Gallardo. The 45-year-old has been very successful as a coach for River Plate in his home country for many years.
For now, however, former coach of the B-Elf Barcas will coach the team around Sergi Barjuan, Der Stegen and Sergio Busquets. The former club professional makes his home debut against CD Alavés on Saturday. In the league, Barcelona are ninth with 15 points from ten games.
