Barça needs a new coach. After Xavi Hernández announced his departure from the Blaugrana club at the end of this season, the team has started working to find a replacement. And now they are looking for this new coach so that he can bring the Barcelona club back to the highest place in European and world football.
But there is still much work to be done. Deco , the Culer sports director, will be the main person responsible for choosing the replacement of the Terrassa coach, but he also generates certain doubts with the candidates.
Several names have been mentioned as possible coaches, but the most surprising of all is Rúben Amorim , as reported by Esport3. And it is that the Portuguese, current coach of Sporting de Portugal, would be one of the coaches that Deco likes the most. A bet that generates astonishment in the Barça dressing room, since he is an anonymous person that few know.
Amorim, 39, stood out as a player for his career at Benfica. Now as a coach he grew up at Casa Pia Atlético Clube and Sporting de Braga, and this is the fifth season he is coach of Sporting de Portugal . Amorim won the Portuguese league three seasons ago and adds a total of five titles as a coach . But his bet is puzzling.
Deco is considering the signing of Rúben Amorim, a coach who could fit in at Barça because he bets a lot on young people, has an attacking profile and usually uses a 3-4-3 formation . The big problem with this coach is that he has a contract until 2026 and that his exit clause is 30 million euros . A prohibitive price for Barça right now, since the Blaugrana club is in a situation of financial problems and without many options to spend money on the signing of a new coach.
But this would not be Deco’s only bet, since the current Culer sports director has also considered the signing of another Portuguese such as Sergio Conceiçao, the current manager of Porto . But the Portuguese are not the only ones on the Barcelona club’s list. German coaches such as Hansi Flick or Jürgen Klopp also appear, in addition to Thiago Motta, Mikel Arteta, Imanol Alguacil, Míchel Sánchez, Rafa Márquez… and thus keep adding coaches who can fit in at Barça.
However, the decision on the new coach of Barça has not yet been made and everything points to the fact that it will still take a few months to make a final decision. Barça needs a coach who fits in on a footballing level, but who also fits in on an economic level.
