Report: Four unknowns around FC Barcelona

Journalist Acharf Ben Ayad has shed light on a few subjects related to Barcelona while writing for his column in Mundo Deportivo, saying that everything connected to the team is expected to have a solution only towards the end of the season.

As such, the reporter talked about four aspects in particular, namely, who will be the new coach, what will the next transfer market be like? Will we see sales during the summer? How is the economic recovery that Joan Laporta always talks about going?

After Barcelona’s recent elimination from the UEFA Champions League, many questions weigh heavily on the minds of Barcelona fans. 

However, answers to these questions may not come immediately as the season is still ongoing, and a league Clasico is just two days away.

Joan Laporta must be transparent

The most pressing decision for the club is choosing the new coach. This choice will mark the beginning of a new era, especially with Xavi likely to leave at the end of the season. 

Barcelona need a coach with vast experience and a strong personality to guide the team through necessary changes. This transition is crucial for the club, which cannot afford to experiment or speculate.

The board of directors, led by the president, may need to provide Barcelona fans with a realistic outlook on what lies ahead. 

While optimism is essential, it is equally important to avoid false hopes and acknowledge the challenges the club faces.

Barcelona need to start fresh

The journalist pressed on the fact that Barcelona must stop searching for a coach who can replicate Pep Guardiola’s style. Instead, the club needs a coach with extensive experience and a strong personality to make decisive changes. 

The effects of these changes may take time to materialize, but the club must take immediate and decisive action to remain a top contender. 

The club must focus on its future to rekindle excitement among its loyal fan base, who have shown unwavering support during matches. 

This includes making strategic decisions in the transfer market and possibly making difficult sales to stabilize the team’s finances. Ultimately, Barcelona face a lot of work in shaping its future, both on and off the pitch. 

With a strong leader at the helm and transparent communication with fans, the club can navigate these challenges and return to being a dominant force on the world stage.
