Barcelona continue to seek alternatives to replace Ronald Koeman, with former Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo and River Plate manager Marcelo Gallardo the latest names added to the list of candidates.
While former Barcelona captain Xavi Hernandez and Belgium coach Roberto Martinez remain on the list, several sources have told ESPN that Barca president Joan Laporta could also opt for Albert Capellas, who works in Barca’s youth academy, as an urgent solution.

Barca vice president Eduard Romeu announced earlier this week that money would not be a problem for the club to part company with Koeman, but there are several discrepancies as to how to carry out the coach’s dismissal without breaking LaLiga’s rules on salary caps.
LaLiga announced on Wednesday that Barca’s spending limit for the 2021-22 campaign is €97.9 million and that the club will only be able to spend 25% of what they save in wages or make in transfer fees on registering new players or making signings.
