Press sources revealed a meeting between Deco, the sporting director of the Spanish club Barcelona, and the new coach of the Catalan club, after deciding on Xavi’s departure.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta decided on the departure of coach Xavi Hernandez at the end of the season due to his talk about the club’s financial problem.
According to information received from reliable Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona sporting director Deco met yesterday, Wednesday, with German Hansi Flick to discuss the process of taking over the club’s training in London.
The journalist continued that Deco discussed with Hansi Flick in London the idea of coaching FC Barcelona starting next season after Xavi’s departure.
He added that Hansi Flick will pay from his own pocket to move to Barcelona, and he also rejected an offer to coach Chelsea, which fired its coach Pochettino yesterday, even though the salary offered by Chelsea is double what was offered by Barcelona, but he said no to Chelsea and is waiting for Barcelona.
Romano concluded that Hansi Flick will become Barcelona’s official coach with a percentage exceeding 95%, and announcing the signing is only a matter of time.
Coach Xavi Hernandez’s last match with Barcelona is Barcelona’s next match against Sevilla in the Spanish League this season.
