Q & A

Who does the speaker think should be the next Barcelona coach?

The speaker believes Hansi Flick would be the ideal choice. Flick is the coach that generates the most consensus within the club's sporting commission and is seen as someone who could evolve Barcelona's playing style while bringing discipline to the squad.

What type of coach is Barcelona looking for?

Barcelona wants an elite coach capable of making tough squad decisions, convincing the board and fans to have patience in developing young players, and building a solid long-term project.

Why did Flick previously turn down the Barcelona job?

When Barcelona approached Flick before, he turned them down because it was to finish Koeman's project, and there were no guarantees about signing players or overhauling a squad Flick felt was depleted.

What doubts do Michel, Alguacil, and De Zerbi raise?

While they have done well with their respective teams, they have not managed superstar egos or high expectations at an elite club before, so there are doubts if they could handle the Barcelona pressure and environment.

What was Laporta's original manager wish list?

During his election campaign, Laporta wanted to bring in Thomas Tuchel, Julian Nagelsmann, or Hansi Flick, but was unable to secure any of them at the time.

Why does Motta generate some doubts?

Despite doing well with Bologna, Motta is seen as too much of a risky gamble given his limited experience so far, similar to the Xavi situation.

What type of clean-out is expected from the new coach?

The new Barcelona coach will need to make tough squad decisions and move out aging or non-deserving players, similar to Guardiola selling Ronaldinho and Deco.

What is the short-term priority according to the speaker?

The speaker believes the short-term priority should be avoiding further mistakes and slowly developing young players rather than immediately trying to win Champions League.

Why is Koeman definitely ruled out?

The speaker says Koeman will not be considered at all after his failed tenure, no matter how much some fans support bringing him back.

What role could Guardiola play?

The speaker suggests Laporta should seek advice from Pep Guardiola on choosing the next Barcelona manager, even if Guardiola would not return as coach himself.
