Real Sociedad’s Imanol Alguacil tipped to be future Barcelona boss

Real Sociedad boss Imanol Alguacil has become the latest La Liga manager to be tipped as a potential future manager of the Catalan giants.

There’s no suggestion Xavi’s position is in danger right now, despite his team struggling for form, but Diario Sport are reporting how Alguacil seems to be on the club’s rader.

The report notes how Deco and Joan Laporta were quick to praise the coach at the recent Marca Awards where he was named manager of the season.

Barcelona’s president told the Real Sociedad boss his team “play football that he loves” and Deco and Pedri also lavished praise on the technician.
