The election of Joan Laporta as the new president of Barcelona seems to bring an air of hope to the corridors of the club. It will be the third term for the Spaniard at the culé club and he will seek a necessary reconstruction to reposition himself among the best teams on the continent. Although the focus is on the potential footballers who could arrive, the position of technical director could also undergo changes in the near future.

According to El Larguero, for the leadership that has just begun its leadership, the continuity of Ronald Koeman depends exclusively on whether he wins a title in the season that is being disputed. He is currently in the final of the Copa del Rey, where he will face Athletic Bilbao after heroically eliminating Sevilla, and he is the only guard for Atlético de Madrid in La Liga, with six units apart.

"If the new president does not have plans for me, we will have a problem, because I have a second year on my contract," Koeman warned at a press conference with an enigmatic tone of voice, recalling that their bond stretches until 2022. Already out of the Champions League at the hands of Paris-Saint Germain, his future will depend on the role he plays in Spanish competitions.

But if the project with the Dutchman is not as expected, Laporta and company look to Germany in search of a possible successor. The name of Julian Nagelsmann, RasenBallsport Leipzig coach, would be the candidate to lead the new era of Barcelona. The German became known for his work at Hoffenheim, where he managed to qualify for the Champions League in the 2016/2017 season. He then made the leap to the RB team, where he works today.

Focused on working with the ball and without seeking to be friends with the players - some of whom are his age or even older than him - Nagelsmann is committed to forming his own style. First, always think about your own strengths and try to maintain them, no matter who the opponent is. Aware of the weight that social networks have in society and, above all, in young people, it does not prohibit their use by players, but rather promotes a responsible use of them.
