THE LAST OPTION ON THE BARÇA LIST
Barça's latest 'surprise' alternative to succeed Xavi Hernández
FC Barcelona is going through a 'complicated' process to choose who will be Xavi Hernández's successor when the season ends. There is a long list of alternatives, to which Rúben Amorin has joined
The FC Barcelona deshoja the margarita to choose to the one who will be his next trainer. Xavi Hernández has reaffirmed recently that, whatever happens in what it remains of season, will abandon the bench on 30 June. The task is not simple and will take more time of what the fans blaugrana expect, because they will go in at stake several factors: the sportive and economic, mainly. Joan Laporta and Deco already work in this.
In these last weeks have descartado several names, as Rafa Márquez, Thiago Motta or Sergio Conceiçao. The Barça is in full process of analysis of the profiles to define which will be his list of candidates. The dream of the club is Jürgen Klopp, but is the most difficult alternative. Hansi Flick Is very positioned (and would like him recalar in the City Condal) and with the happen of the days will follow adding names. The one of Rúben Amorim, current trainer of the Sporting CP, is the last.
The Portuguese is one of the trainers of 'fashion' in Europe. To his 39 years has been able to leave brushstrokes of a showy football, effective and in which has like north the command from the possession of the balloon. Bet by the pressure and goes varying his structure of game depending on the facet of the game and keeps to the Sporting like a team that already is consolidated in Portugal and that adds a League, two Glasses and a Supercopa. In this season find in the second position in league, with two points less than the Benfica. Only they have had three 'pricks': two defeats and a tie.
The clause of exit, the problem of Rúben Amorim
The lisboetas have 'shined' by the big command of the spaces and from the Barça understand that Rúben Amorim could adaptarseperfectamente to the style blaugrana. Has against his little experience in the elite -because, besides, is very young-, but has turned into a new trainer that, also, likes in the sportive direction. Deco Would have been the one who put his name on the table, according to an information of 'Esport 3'. His only problem is that it would suppose an investment very, very big.
And it is that when the Sporting of Portugal achieved his incorporation from the Sporting of Knickers had to pay ten million euros. To take care the backs, in his agreement, that wins in 2026, included a clause of rescission that rises to the 30 'kilos', a figure that hardly could allow the Barça to reinforce his bench from the next season. The option will be still in study in these next weeks.
