Although they want him for Xavi, Arteta gives the worst news to Barcelona
It seems that Barcelona will have to continue looking for a coach elsewhere...
These are very difficult times for the fans and for the directors of FC Barcelona. The club is not going through a good moment, in fact, one could say that they are going through a crisis of results and it could get worse if they do not take matters into their own hands soon. Xavi Hernandez announced his departure for this summer, and the search for a replacement began.
Rafa Marquez, Thiago Motta and Hansi Flick are the main candidates, however yesterday news from Diario Sport went viral stating that Mikel Arteta would leave Arsenal this summer and that he would not rule out joining FC Barcelona as coach...
The news caused a lot of expectation in Barcelona, since he is a coach of the highest level. However, Mikel Arteta himself has taken it upon himself to strike out the goal just 24 hours later: Barcelona? Leave Arsenal? Fake news. Totally fake news. I don't know where it comes from. It is totally false. I'm really upset about that. I could not believe it. Without a source, nothing.”
