The names are many the list of prospective coaches to replace him Xavi big.
Marca, Spain’s largest sports newspaper friend close to Real Madridwith a very valid report, analyzed the status of each coach case examined by Barcelona to cover the “void” that will be left in the summer o Xavi.
De Gerby and Flick the “runner-ups”
Some stand out from the rest for many reasons. They belong to this category Roberto Nte Gerbi and Hansie Flick. Both are well liked by management and him Joan Laporta, without any cooperation proposal yet.
Brighton’s Italian coach has been high on the list since the one-time Blaugrana captain announced his retirement following defeat to Villarreal. On the positive side the excellent work with young and developing footballers, a plan implemented by Barcelona. Although he does not have a high cash, he is bound by a contract from the “seagulls”. Something that does not exist in the case of the German, since the former coach of Bayern Munich and the German national team has been free since the beginning of the season. It is even rumored that he is learning spanish to take the position!

The “crazy” Klopp
The news of Klopp’s departure from Liverpool “triggered” a number of publications both about the bench of the “reds” and about the future of the German coach. During his emotional announcement he made it clear that does not intend to immediately take over another club, since he wants to “recharge his batteries”. So he immediately prevented Laporta from conversing with him.
Arteta, Motta and Rafa Marquez
The rumor of the Arsenal – Arteta “divorce” was not stable, while the Spaniard wishes to continue at the Gunners and the Premier League. A fact that “clipped the wings” of the Barcelona administration that would have wanted him on the bench.
Thiago Motta’s name “played” in the report, however the truth was different. The coach of this year’s excellent Bologna it was never on the list of the candidates despite the very good relationship with Deco as footballers.
The least popular name was that of Rafa Marquez, who will be the temporary solution, in case Xavi leaves earlier in the event of a possible exclusion from Napoli in the “16” of the Champions League! In any case, the Mexican would not continue on the bench of the Spanish champions after the season finale.
This is the data at least based on the Marca report.
