Barcelona Board Considers Two La Liga Managers in Search for Xavi’s Replacement

Barcelona’s season hit a low with a tough 4-1 defeat against Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final. Now, they’re left focusing on La Liga, UEFA Champions League, and Copa Del Rey to salvage their campaign.

 Xavi Under the Spotlight

Despite Coach Xavi Hernandez feeling confident about the board’s support, the recent report from Adrian Sanchez reveals internal tensions within Barcelona’s board.

While the president and most of the hierarchy are behind Xavi, some within the board are leaning towards a coaching change. Imanol Alguacil and Michel are being considered as potential successors if Xavi steps down.

Potential Replacements: Imanol Alguacil and Michel

Imanol Alguacil: A Seasoned Strategist

With over five years at Real Sociedad, Alguacil brings solid experience. Real Sociedad consistently aimed for the top six in La Liga under his guidance, making him a compelling choice for Barcelona.

Michel: Girona’s Success Story

Michel has gained praise this season for steering Girona to unprecedented success in La Liga. Despite being an underdog, Girona is now competing with giants like Real Madrid for the league title, showcasing Michel’s tactical prowess.

Why Alguacil and Michel?

Both coaches are known for building tough, competitive teams. Their strategies focus on making the squad resilient and ready to face challenges. While Alguacil and Michel seem promising, it’s too early to say who will take over, especially with Xavi likely to stay until the end of the season.

In this uncertain period, Barcelona’s board needs to carefully consider their options to ensure the club bounces back strongly in both domestic and international competitions.
