Éric Abidal will take over his responsibilities, alongside assistant Ramon Planes.

Meanwhile, former Barça striker Patrick Kluivert is set for a return to the club after being let go by Cameroon, where he was an assistant to Clarence Seedorf. He is said to be on the verge of taking on a job within the Barcelona academy. His relationship with club president Josep Maria Bartomeu is good, and the report says negotiations have been accelerated.
