FC Barcelona needs a new coach after the dismissal of Ronald Koeman and, according to Sports world, the first option is the former midfielder, currently in Al-Sadd. Other options as interns would be Sergi Barjuán and Albert Capellas.
The period of the Dutch coach on the Barça bench has ended after 67 games and with a board of directors that found no alternative for a coach they had not chosen. In these meetings, he won 40 victories, 11 draws and 16 defeats, four of them in the last six games, and a Copa del Rey as the only title.
In third position in Group E of the Champions League and ninth in LaLiga, waiting to play their pending match in the fiefdom of Sevilla, the club needs to first recover the illusion and then wait for the results to follow. If there is a name that generates it, it is Xavi Hernández, an icon of the club during its golden age and who has never hidden wanting to train him. However, it is necessary to negotiate with Al-Sadd, given that he has a contract until 2023 with Qatari discipline.
According Sports world, The Emir of Qatar promised the Emir of Terrassa that he would not make it difficult to leave if there is a clear interest from FC Barcelona, something that seems to have come at this time. In case the negotiations get complicated, the means of the Ciudad Condal mentions that Sergi Barjuán as interim of the subsidiary or Albert Capellas, current coordinator of grassroots football, could be provisional solutions. Marcelo Gallardo also plays, who has a contract with River Plate until December.
The Barça team will have to solve the situation as soon as possible, given that on Saturday the 30th they have a LaLiga match hosting Deportivo Alavés, on Tuesday the 2nd of the Champions League where they play to maintain the qualifying options in Kiev and on Saturday the 6th they visit Celta de Vigo before the national team break. From there, you will have more room for negotiation while international shocks take place.
