Posted on October 28, 2021 at 11:10 am by HG

While the name of Xavi serves as the favorite for the succession of Ronald Koeman, FC Barcelona would cover its rear by working on another track in parallel.

The defeat against Rayo Vallecano this Wednesday evening was too much for Ronald Koeman since he was dismissed from his post at the end of this umpteenth underperformance of FC Barcelona . And now it’s Xavi’s name that has been touted in the Spanish press as the favorite to take over from the former Netherlands manager on the Barça bench. However, the current Al-Sadd technician would not be the only track studied by the management chaired by Joan Laporta .

FC Barcelona is studying the Marcelo Gallardo track!

Indeed, RAC1 and MARCA jointly announce that Marcelo Gallardo will be part of the options studied by FC Barcelona alongside Xavi and Sergi Barjuan , the latter on an interim basis. Everything indicates, however, that the second city is the priority of Barça , but the current coach of River Plate would thus appear as an alternative in case of failure for Xavi . It remains to be seen whether FC Barcelona will need to mobilize this track.
