The options for taking the helm of FC Barcelona continue to arise. The movements around the Catalan team have accelerated in recent hours and several sources even point to the dismissal of the Extremaduran coach Ernesto Valverde, whose future is now hanging by a thread. Thus, the options to replace the coach have not been long in coming.
The first possibility was Xavi Hernández, although the one from Terrassa rejected this possibility. Something similar happened with the Dutchman Ronald Koeman, currently in charge of the national team of his country. Meanwhile, other names have also emerged in parallel, such as Mauricio Pochettino, Quique Setién and even Javier García Pimienta, currently in charge of the reserve team.
Now, Mundo Deportivo includes a new coach in the list of possibilities. In this case, it is the Italian Massimiliano Allegri (52 years old), who, according to the aforementioned source, has been offered to the top brass of the Catalan team. Without a team since he left the bench of Juventus at the end of last season, the former coach of Sassuolo, Cagliari and AC Milan has an interesting resume that includes six Serie A championships, four national cups, and an Italian Super Cup. In his negative column? Despite reaching the final, he has not yet managed to win the Champions League with any of his clubs.
