Shocking, this is the first top coach dropped from Barça’s race to replace Xavi

FC Barcelona’s sporting direction would be currently focused on finding the right man to lead the management of the senior team for the next few years after the decision of Xavi to the position in the last few weeks, and Deco, the current chief of the sporting area of the club, would have already dropped one of the candidates to be the next coach of the Catalan team.

The candidate in question would be the Italian coach Thiago Motta, currently managing Bologna in Serie A, and considered by many football experts as a top option to replace Xavi Hernandez given his character and personality on and off the pitch, which wouldn’t have helped him to lead the wish list set at the club to find a new coach according to the latest information given by the Italian journalist and transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano.

Following the news given by Romano, in the case of Motta there is no path that can lead him to Barcelona right now. "Everything can change in football, but at the moment, he is not a candidate," said Romano, who indicated that the wish list set by Deco to find a new manager would continue to be progressively reduced on these days.

FC Barcelona could give up on the signing of "busy managers"

In this sense, and following this idea, FC Barcelona could give up on the signing of managers currently working, which would also leave Thomas Tuchel and Mikel Arteta out of the Culers’ target list and would give strong options to Hansi Flick as being finally hired as the new FC Barcelona manager.
