FC Barcelona narrows down its list of potential successors for Xavi: Among them, three are German and one is Italian.
The next coach of Barça won’t be Spanish. According to the Catalan newspaper Sport, FC Barcelona has selected four candidates whom it considers the most qualified to succeed Xavi on the team’s bench next season. Among them, three are German, and one is Italian. He will be the favorite.
Here are the potential candidates: Julian Nagelsmann, Thomas Tuchel, Hansi Flick, and Roberto De Zerbi. The first three will all be available this summer, with Julian Nagelsmann potentially leaving the German national team after the Euro.
The Italian tactician Roberto De Zerbi, under contract until 2026 with Brighton, will be more challenging to dislodge.
