Ex-France Coach Thinks Barcelona Are Hard to Find a New Coach

DBasia.news – Barcelona are reportedly looking for a new coach to replace Ronald Koeman. Koeman’s position has been rocked following a string of poor results and his dispute with Joan Laporta, the club’s president.

Several names were floated as replacement candidates. One of the most strongly linked is Roberto Martinez, the coach of the Belgian national team. But Martinez insists Barca approaching him is just a rumour.

Now one more name appears. A name that is no stranger to Barcelona and is an assistant to Roberto Martinez in the Belgian national team. Yes, the figure in question is Thierry Henry.

Henry’s name was suggested by former France coach Raymond Domenech. He believes that Henry has the capacity to handle Barca at the moment.

“Henry has played there. He has the capacity. He has the advantage of being at a known club. He understands their philosophy and principles,” Domenech was quoted as saying by Diario Sport.

However, Domenech does not guarantee that Barcelona will be better in the hands of Henry compared to Ronald Koeman. According to Domenech, Barcelona will still suffer from whoever the coach is.

“Whoever the coach is, they will suffer. Because it would be better if they had a great squad. They have good players, but not very good. If they don’t get players like that, I’m not sure they will be in the top five,” Domenech continued. .

During his time as a player, Henry played for Barcelona from 2007 to 2010. Together with former Arsenal players, Barcelona won seven trophies, including two La Liga titles and one Champions League.

Besides Henry, another name that appears is Xavi Hernandez. Xavi is currently a coach at Qatari League club Al Saad.
