Gerard Pique has been talking about the managerial situation at Barcelona and believes there are two “obvious” candidates to replace Xavi.

The Barcelona boss has announced his intention to step down from his post at the end of the season, sparking huge speculation over who will be the club’s next boss.

Pique says there are two men in particular who are the “obvious” choices for the position in an interview with The Times.

“To manage Barça you need to be a specific type of coach and to understand the way Barça play, so the options are much less,” he says.
