According to RAC1, key members of the FC Barcelona board are reportedly interested in bringing in Jurgen Klopp as the replacement for outgoing head coach Xavi Hernandez. This comes after Klopp’s announcement that he will be leaving his position at Liverpool after nine years.
Xavi Hernandez, who has been the head coach of Barcelona, has been facing criticism recently due to a decline in the team’s performance. The team suffered a loss in the Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid and was knocked out in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals by Athletic Bilbao.
Klopp’s departure from Liverpool has sparked interest from various clubs, and Barcelona seems to be one of them. Known for his successful tenure at Liverpool, where he led the team to several major titles including the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League, Klopp has established himself as one of the top managers in the world.
Barcelona’s interest in Klopp is not surprising considering his track record and the need for a change in leadership at the club. However, it remains to be seen whether Klopp will be open to taking on the challenge of managing Barcelona.
If the board’s interest in Klopp materializes, it could potentially bring a fresh perspective and new strategies to the team. Klopp’s high-intensity, pressing style of play could be a good fit for Barcelona’s attacking philosophy.
As of now, it is still uncertain who will ultimately take over as the head coach of Barcelona. The board will need to carefully consider their options and make a decision that they believe will bring success back to the club.
