The Barcelona directive already would be evaluating the available names to assume the reins of the bench in case that Ronald Koeman was destituido. Xavi luce like the main candidate and has the favour of the fans, but Laporta is not of the all convinced

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The last results for the FC Barcelona, especially the defeat in Lisbon in front of the Benfica by the second date of the Champions, has put in doubt the continuity of Ronald Koeman like trainer. Thus, the club already finds evaluating to the new míster that could replace to the Dutch of immediate way.

Between the favourites of the president, Joan Laporta, appear the names of Xavi Hernández (To the-Sadd), perhaps also the preferred for the majority of the fans or Roberto Martínez (selection of Belgium). Likewise, they study other possibilities, as Marcelo Gallardo (River Plate), or free agents, like the Italian Antonio Conte and Andrea Pirlo.

Xavi, in command of the candidates

In principle, it is Xavi the one who splits in the 'pole' to arrive to the Barcelona bench. The ex midfield player knows very well the philosophy of game of the team and has the favour of a good part of the directive, no like this in the case of Laporta, that to end of accounts will have the last word. Besides, has agreement with the cataríes until 2023.



Roberto Martínez, by his part, is the preferred of Jordi Cruyff, with the one who keeps a big friendship. For the moment, it keeps his bond with the Belgian selection until the Glass of the World in Catar and prepares for the next date of the Nations League. Even so, it could separate of the charge, no without before leave something of money in the arks of the Real Belgian Association of Football.

 

It is not the first time that the name of Marcelo Gallardo sounds for the Barça. The Argentinian has had a good cycle headed by River Plate and lived his best moment in the final of the Glass Libertadores 2018 when the 'millionaire' did with the greater trophy sudamericano of clubs in Santiago Bernabéu.

The free agents, options more viable for the Barça

Antonio Conte remained without team after the Inter of Milan opted for doing without his services in favour of Simone Inzaghi. In fact, it went champion with the 'nerazzurri' in the past edition of the Series To, his main letter of presentation. The fact to prefer short agreements also is a point to his favour.

Although the cycle of Andrea Pirlo in the Juventus did not leave very satisfied to the fans in Turín, the Italian luce like an affordable option when finding desvinculado of any institution. However, the doubts root in the figures left in his courses headed by the 'Vecchia Signora'.
