‘Xavi Hernandez emerging as the top choice for Barcelona’s next coach’

Real Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil distances himself from Barcelona job rumors

Alguacil’s Response

In response to speculation linking him to the Barcelona job, Real Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil has made it clear that he has no interest in the position. He praised Xavi Hernandez as the ideal coach for Barcelona and expressed his desire to continue making history at Real Sociedad.

Denials From Other Managers

Alguacil joins a number of other managers who have also shut down speculation about taking over at Barcelona. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, Girona’s Michel Sanchez, Bologna coach Thiago Motta, and Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique have all denied any interest in the job.

Barcelona’s Future

With Xavi Hernandez leaving, the future of Barcelona’s managerial position remains uncertain. Despite only inexperienced Barca Atletic Rafael Marquez showing interest, the job does not look nearly as attractive as it has in the past due to a tight financial situation and an overbearing media pressure.
