Tito stepped down as Barça's coach. New coach to be announced next week.

[Tomchin]

Perhaps they had already talked to a coach some time ago and express him this could be a possibility that might or might not arise. I do hope it is someone from outside though. No offense to Roura or Ruby.

Barcelona's new coach will not be one of the two assistant coaches, but come from outside the club. Barcelona had plan B prepared. [rac1]

What makes you think that it's not Rubi that they will announce as our head-coach the beginning of next week? No way that they could already have signed a high-profile coach in 1 afternoon.

That's what I'm thinking. No way we could get a big name so quick unless our reputation is that large people just pack their bags immediately.

I think the worst case scenario has unfolded and were getting rubi or roura.

 

[Caramel]

Oh shit!

Good point, they may have been prepared for this.

Wow that's great news. Maybe the first possibility I suggested was true and not the second possibility.

Fuel the hell week of speculation.

Dammit. This sucks. Jupp needs to be our coach. Hes the best chance we have at beating bayern and winning the champs league. With any other scrub coach we'll get steamrolled again

 

[Zuess99]

If it was rubi why wouldn't they just say it today?

Fuel the hell week of speculation.

If its beginning of next week then it's more like four days of constant speculation, even during the night hours.

 

[instinct]

If it was rubi why wouldn't they just say it today?

Yeah, I was wondering the same

 

[Flavia]

The press conference said the new coach will be announced at the beginning of next week. That was quick. They probably have the new coach signed up already. Must have been a secret thing for the past couple of weeks if they managed to get a high profile outsider. If it was only discovered now then the only way a new manager could be so quick is if they just appoint rubi or roura.

Unless our profile is so big they think they can extract a high profile outsider in such a shirt time and have him signed up? Surely such a big decision needs more time if they only discovered this today.

There are some coaches without a club. Maybe they had a backup plan, in case this happened, or will try to get someone fast.

 

[Tomchin]

If it was rubi why wouldn't they just say it today?

Don't think so, out of respect for Tito.

 

[big_man]

If it was rubi why wouldn't they just say it today?

If it was him they'd have announced it today.

 

[cro-man]

Uhm what do you mean?

I think pep knew how bad his situation was and it was not long ago pep started to scream at rosell and co.

Klopp, save us. Bring Reus and hummels with you. /dreams

Its going to be AVB or Bielsa. AVB supposedly has a clause in case we want him.
