Breaking news, Premier League coach whose agents landed in Barcelona

A few weeks ago Barcelona are news in newspapers, TV shows and social media for the sporting crisis they are going through. The performances and results during the 2023/24 season have been disappointing and right now they only have chances to win one title: the Champions League. However, the level shown by the team does not excite fans that they can compete against European giants such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City.

For that reason Xavi Hernandez made a decision a few weeks ago that surprised everyone: after the defeat vs Villarreal in Montjuic he announced at the press conference that he will step down as Barcelona's coach once the season ends. This caught even the players off guard, who apparently found out the news by listening and reading Xavi's words in front of the journalists.

Since then the club's chiefs and sporting director Deco have been working to find a suitable replacement. Thiago Motta and Rafael Márquez were the first to be targeted, but were ruled out due to their lack of experience. That's why other names appeared later, such as Hansi Flick, Jurgen Klopp, Thomas Tuchel, Julian Nagelsmann and Xabi Alonso. However, the chosen one seems to be in the Premier League.

This Wednesday, Edmundo Kabchi and Edoardo Crnjar landed at Barcelona airport. They are agents of soccer players and coaches and represent, among others, Roberto De Zerbi. The Italian coach is having a great performance with Brighton & Hove Albion in England and that has caught the attention of Los Blaugranas, as he has a style of play that resembles that of the Catalan side.

There may also be another explanation

Edmundo Kabchi and Edoardo Crnjar, besides working with Roberto De Zerbi, are agents of Ronald Araujo. The Uruguayan player is one of Barcelona's stars and has been in the news lately due to the interest of several important European clubs in signing him, such as Manchester United. The presence of the agents in the Spanish city could also be related to the defender's future.
