Hansi Flick and Simone Inzaghi were included in the list of head coaches of Barcelona

Journalists of Mundo Deportivo (close to Barca) talk about a short list of technicians who remained in the fight for the position of head coach of the Catalans.

While there have been various rumors of late (from Jurgen Klopp, Frank Rijkaard, Thomas Tuchel, Roberto De Zerbi and even Xabi Alonso), the quoted source states that Hansi Flick and Simone Inzaghi are in direct competition for the position of Barcelona’s new coach. .

Hans Flick is 58 and out of contract, giving him the edge over Simone Inzaghi.

He spent his career at Hoffenheim, Red Bull Salzburg, Bayern and the German national team.

In fact, Bild journalists announced some time ago that Catalan officials had informed the media that he was on the shortlist for the Barcelona head coach position.

Flick’s name has been linked with Bayern’s treble of success in 2020: the Champions League, the Bundesliga title and the German Cup.

Simone Inzaghi, on the other hand, is on an upward career trajectory after leading Inter to the Champions League final last season and a step closer to the title this season.

Giuseppe Meazza’s side are second to none in the title race and it seems only a matter of time before Lautaro and company lift the Champions League.

As for Inzaghi, he has a contract with “Inter” until 2025, and here his “release” requires negotiations with the Lombard group.

In addition, Simone (47 years old) has also attracted the attention of some clubs in the Premier League (Manchester United and Chelsea are being talked about more and more recently), and the competition will be important for the Catalans.

At the moment, Barcelona is in 3rd place in the La Liga standings with 57 points. “Calatan” overtook Girona (59 points) and the leader “Real” (65 points). There are 12 stages left until the end of the season.
