Barcelona club president, Joan Laporta, decided to determine the appropriate alternative, in the event of stability in the future, on the departure of the coach of the first football team, Xavi Hernandez
Laporta does not want Xavi to change, and the desire of the Barcelona administration is for the coach to continue for many years in the “Camp Nou” castle, despite the fluctuation in results and exit from the Champions League
The Catalan newspaper “Sport” that Barcelona FC appreciates the work of Arsenal coach, Michael Arteta, especially since the English team was suffering and is now the leader of the English Premier League and is competing with great coaches such as Klopp with Liverpool and Guardiola in Manchester City
Arteta played within the La Masia academy in Barcelona, and trained under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City for several years until he became a coach in charge of a team like Arsenal
Laporta believes that Arteta has all the necessary technical capabilities to be a coach for Barcelona in the future, as he is strong in character, which made him expel Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Arsenal after he was late for training and his behavior
Guardiola’s assistant: Manchester City’s defeat was disappointing and we gave two different halves
There is also a strong relationship between Arteta, the sporting director of FC Barcelona, Matteo Alemani, as well as the technical advisor, Jordi Cruyff, which may facilitate access to the Spanish coach in the future
But Barcelona’s interest remains just an alternative name for coach, Xavi, in the event of his departure if he does not succeed in returning the team to the right track
