🔙 Cadena SER: Thiago Alcántara set for Barcelona return | OneFootball

Thiago Alcántara is preparing for his second landing at FC Barcelona, once again with his notebook in hand. The Spanish-Brazilian former player will join Hansi Flick’s coaching staff, according to Cadena SER.

Thiago already acted as a link between the German coach and the locker room during Flick’s first days in the Catalan city, earning the respect of both players and coaches.

His knowledge of La Masia, along with his experience at top clubs like Bayern and Liverpool, is something Flick values and wants to have close by.

Flick has never hidden his admiration for Thiago. In fact, the good rapport between the two remained intact throughout last season, with meetings even off the pitch that strengthened their relationship of trust.

With this addition, the German coach is looking for more than just a collaborator. He wants an accomplice with influence in the locker room and the ability to build bridges in a team that needs solidity and unity to compete at the highest level again.
