Who should be Barça's next coach after Lucho?

[khaled_a_d]

Ernesto always seemed to have that "Meh" expression on his face. He's not a bad manager at all but going from a team like Bilbao to Barcelona is a big step up and dealing with egos in the locker room will be a lot tougher here and to motivate the players who pretty much won everything will be tough as well.

Same can be said about every other candidate not named Blanc,What big names did Sampaoli manage?Sanchez & Bravo are the biggest names along Vidal and at Barcelona they were good starters not even stars.huge difference going from having Sanchez as your star to having MSN.
I hope the Meh expression is just a joke,we aren't gonna judge coach of how they look now ffs

 

[Galning]

I'd go with Sampaoli.

 

[FlaFCB]

With Sampaoli still available, it's so stupid to go for any other coach. What a board of stupid idiots.

Well Sampaoli isn't exactly available,is he?He has a contract with Sevilla

His buyout is like 200K.

And valverde has a contract with bilbao. There's no coaches available, then.

He doesn't,his contract is over this summer

He's still under it. The club want to announce the new coach before that. And Sampaoli has a 1.5m release clause.

Still worth the money if he is the first candidate.

No,he can sign a contract right now with any club for next season while in Sampaoli case he has to sign in off-season,And the fact that he didn't renew makes him more available for sure. Sampaoli might have another plan for his future that we don't know about.
And the board already announced that new coach will be named on July 1st not before it,so no the club doesn't want to announce it before. And in Sampaoli case if we are interested they will want to deny any interest as strong as they can until season is over. He is coaching a direct rival in title race and a club that we have very strong relation with,going for their coach at the middle of the season is not an option. Even if they are interested they will leak they are going for other coaches,they have no other option really

He can "resign for lack of trust and belief" . .
From management and players.

 

[DonAK]

Bartomeu said they will announce it 1st of July, so there should be enough time to sign Sampaoli.

Thought they said they'd announce it by the end of March. Valverde won't accept to be part of games or used as decoy. Bilbao also want him to renew, so whatever decision they make, it can't wait that long. If they want Sampaoli, they have to pay his buyout. Everybody will know it, regardless. We'll know who the coach is way before July 1st.

 

[Galning]

I also heard they'd announce it in July as Khaled says.

1-Valverde won't be part of any decoy,it isn't like he is saying he will manage us and in fact he said he knows nothing and focusing on this season. All are giving same answers anyway.
2-And with Sampaoli buyouts clauses are for off-season ,we can't pay it in March unless Monchi was an idiot who accepted such clause that allow his coach to leave at the middle of the season and we know he isn't. So actually the club saying they will announce the coach in July it points to Sampaoli more than anyone actually,we don't need the wait with the likes of Blanc,Valverde,Unzue etc. Only with coaches in Sampaoli situation,like Koeman too
3-Again,there is a wide believe in this media bs,Valverde and Sampaoli are the media favorite. Sampaoli is the new admirable coach in Liga and Valverde is the one that meets the club usual criteria of coach they hired before. Media will surely link us to those. The club has no need to hurry tbh. we have at least couple of months to assess our situation,made some primary talking with agents and decide.
4-Going for Sampaoli at this moment is stupid to say at least,he is coach of direct rival in an ongoing title race ffs people. A club that we have very strong relationship that we don't need to end for sake of basically nothing. It isn't like Sampaoli has 5 other offers from elite clubs that they want the answer now. Trying to pursuing him now will only tarnish our reputation between Liga clubs (talking about administrative not fans)
5-Again,we don't even know what is in Sampaoli head,yeah our coaching job should be very attractive but at the end there are many things that decides coach decision,may be he has other plans for now.
I mean seriously,I get it that Sampaoli is gr8 coach etc,but people has really to calm down here.there is nothing that the club can do now.
