Barcelona’s Next Manager: Guardiola’s Recommendation
Barcelona is on the lookout for a new manager to replace Xavi, who announced his departure at the end of the season. According to reports in Spain, Pep Guardiola has recommended Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi as a potential successor to Xavi. This recommendation comes as Barcelona president Joan Laporta has made Hansi Flick his first-choice pick for the role.
De Zerbi’s impact at Brighton has impressed Guardiola, who has suggested him as a candidate for the Barcelona job. Laporta is now closely monitoring Brighton’s progress under De Zerbi for the remainder of the season. When asked about his future at Brighton, De Zerbi expressed his commitment to the club, stating that he is focused on finishing the season strongly with the team.
Xavi, on the other hand, remains firm in his decision to leave Barcelona at the end of the season despite reports claiming that the club’s hierarchy has asked him to reconsider. As the search for Barcelona’s next manager continues, De Zerbi’s name has emerged as a potential candidate, thanks to Guardiola’s recommendation.
