Mundo Deportivo:
Luis Enrique is the closest to replace Tata Martino who has decided to leave this summer.


Don't know what to think...I'd have a bad feeling. I have the feeling that nothing would change..

Lucho seems ok but doesn't excel in any aspect of managing as of yet. He seems like he'll get better over a longer period of time, but atm I don't think he's the man to improve us.

Picking Lucho is literally the easy way out, more consideration and effort should be made to get a coach with vision and personality.

It is extremely risky to pick Lucho.

A disastrous Roma team and a Celta job that has minimal pressure and expectation.

If it backfires I can see it being worse than Tata's reign.

Madrid fans on twitter are already laughing. They don't fear Lucho a AT ALL. I don't blame them, Lucho will be another puppet for this board. He hasn't done anything to be a Barca coach. Messi deserves better. Thats 3 mediocre coaches in a row for Barca. If it happens

It's most likely that Lucho will be the new coach since he is a Barca veteran..knows the City...knows the style...knows tiki-taka..we're screwed guys..we're screwed.

Is he a great motivator?

This is list of top 30 coaches:
Frank de Boer, Ernesto Valverde, Luis Enrique, Unai Emery, Laurent Blanc, Antonio Conte, Andre Villas Boas, Roberto Martinez, Brendan Rodgers, Joachim Low, Arsene Wenger, Marcelo Bielsa, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Diego Simeone, Jurgen Klopp, Michael Laudrup, Paco Jemez, Jens Keller, Vincenzo Montella, Rudi Garcia, Dieter Hechking, Rafael Benitez, Mauricio Pochettino, Massimiliano Allegri, Roger Schmidt, Phillip Cocu, Ronald Koeman, Dick Advocaat, Didier Deschamps and Roberto Mancini
So who is the best ???
First sorry for my bad English. I think next coach of Barca must to be:
- Good motivator
- Good charismatic person
- Good strategic and tactical person
- Good psychologist
- Good work with young and talented players
- To respect and defend the players, club and fans but and player, club and fans must respect and defend him
- Have to be a football player history to know what happened on the pitch on practice not only a theory
- Philosophy and still of play must to be a attacking football with tiki taka approach but have to a change tactics and take risk when didn’t work
- To be a strong personality to might order on Xavi, Messi and Iniesta to stay on the bench when didn’t play well
- To be good in transfers and pick best of the best for style of play and talent
- To hire right people for everything like good conditioners, fitness and medics
- Good orator
- To be middle age to understand new technology and help him in work
- must to have a lot of experience
- And achievements
- And not to be a just mercenary must to love Barcelona like a family because Barca is mes que un club


I agree with most of the listed prerequisites, but people have to keep one thing in mind.

This team needs reinforcements badly and the club environment is... let's call it suboptimal. If the transfer ban isn't lifted or at least postponed, every coach with a reputation to lose or one to gain will give Barca a wide berth because the head coach position is turned into an ejector seat.

Since beggars can't be choosers, this narrows down our profile a lot which leaves us with 3 types of coaches: The idealist, the naive and the nutcases. Insert Lucho, de Boer, van Gaal, Bielsa you name it. Cross Bielsa off the list fast, cause he surely won't come. Van Gaal neither, at least if the rumours about Tottenham are true.

Narrows down the choice a lot, doesn't it ?

Klopp, roberto martinez, joachim low or nothing for me. Fans will have to understand that those times of scoring after 15 backheels and walking the ball to the net are behind. Barcelona during ronnie's time used to be very direct. We should adapt to changes and use the talents of playdrs like ndymar,messi and pedro and this is not by backpassing and squaring all game. No wonder we are playing very bad after someone decided that it is possession or nothing. If we put our priority as to attack and score possession will come, since everytime we will be trying to get the ball and attack/ go for the jugular and not backpass to xavi

experience is what we need and Luis Enrique lacks it , still a better choice than others , but i am gonna still say it van gaal is the perfect guy for barca he is the only guy that can bench big names if they wont preform and has faith in young players plus experience

To change the style of play, Barcelona will need to sort the defence first. They are too vulnerable now. Once the defence is sorted, we can start to change our style.

Lucho will be the epitomy of the failure of this board and will definitely cause an impeachment of the current board. That's the only positive you can take out of it.
