Barcelona Make Four Man Shortlist Including Xavi for their Managerial Position!

La Liga giants Barcelona have identified four top candidates for their managerial position this summer. Xavi remains the top choice, with efforts to persuade him to stay ongoing. However, if the Spaniard says no, Barça have shortlisted three other options.

=> Luis Enrique, who won the treble with Barcelona in 2015, is first on the list due to his suitability for the role. However, his contract with Paris Saint-Germain makes it challenging to pursue him.

=> Hansi Flick, recently free from his role with the German national team, is also a favored option due to his success at Bayern Munich and his availability. The German manager had an impressive 81% win rate with Bayern and also led them to the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League title.

=> Finally, Rafa Márquez, despite his lack of experience, is being considered for his work with Barcelona's youth teams. The 45-year-old has been working with Barça's B team since 2022 and has impressed the board.
