Sergi Barjuan is the new Barcelona interim coach. Joan Laporta will introduce Sergi to the team today.
Sergi Barjuán, current
Barcelona B coach, is appointed as the interim coach of the first team until
the hiring of the new coach is finalized.
The Spaniard has been with
Barcelona for just three months, and has taken charge of 5 Barca B games,
suggesting that he will not be in charge for too long.
That man is none other than
former Barcelona great Xavi Hernandez, who currently manages Al-Sadd in the
Qatari League. One of the greatest midfielders of his generation, Xavi appeared
767 times for the Catalan club, where he spent 20 years of his career.
He renewed his contract with
Al-Sadd earlier in the year, but allegedly has a release clause should Barca came
calling. And they have. As per Ben Jacobs, this will not sour the relationship
between the Qatar outfit and Xavi, who had been agreement that should the
opportunity arise, he could depart.
Will he be more successful
than his predecessor?
