Barcelona’s search for a new head coach has been a topic of much speculation, but the club’s director, Deco, has clarified their stance on several high-profile managers. In a statement given to @QueThiJugues, Deco addressed the rumors linking the club with Pep Guardiola, Jürgen Klopp, and Mikel Arteta.
Deco’s Statement on Managerial Search
Deco made it clear that Barcelona is not considering Guardiola, Klopp, or Arteta for the head coach position. He stated, “Obviously you can appreciate top managers like Guardiola, Klopp, and Arteta but they’re not available. There’s no talk at all with them and it’s pointless to mention them. We’re not speaking to any manager.”
This announcement puts to rest any speculation about the potential return of Guardiola to Barcelona, where he previously enjoyed immense success. It also rules out the possibility of Klopp or Arteta, who are currently managing Liverpool and Arsenal respectively, taking over the reins at the Nou Camp.
Current Positions of Mentioned Managers
– Pep Guardiola is currently the manager of Manchester City, where he has been since 2016. Under his leadership, City has won numerous titles, including the Premier League and the EFL Cup.
The search for Barcelona’s next head coach continues, with Deco’s statement providing clarity on the club’s current position regarding some of the most talked-about names in football management.
