Talk continues in international sports circles about the identity of the next Barca coach to succeed current coach Xavi Hernandez, especially with the difficult situation that the Catalan team has been experiencing recently.
\nIt is noteworthy that Barcelona coach Xavi announced his departure after the disappointing performance and level of the Catalan team, losing the Super Cup by four, leaving the cup and moving away from the top of the league by a full 10 points from rival Real Madrid.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, press reports revealed today that Barcelona is planning to appoint a former player in the ranks of Real Madrid\u2019s first football team as technical director of the team during the coming period.
\nAccording to information received from the Spanish newspaper \u201cSport\u201d, part of Barcelona\u2019s board of directors dreams of appointing Xabi Alonso as coach of the first football team of the German club Bayer Leverkusen.<\/p>\n
The newspaper added: The club admires the coach’s playing style and they know that signing him would be a strong blow to Real Madrid, and the club is considering moving early to sign him.
\nAccording to the same newspaper, Xabi Alonso passed by the Catalan club during his childhood, where his father, Perico Alonso, played for the team.<\/p>\n
