Thiago tipped for role alongside Hansi Flick at Barcelona after Liverpool exit

Former Barcelona star Thiago Alcantara is being tipped for a role alongside Hansi Flick at the club next season.

Thiago has already waved goodbye to Liverpool but his future remains unclear at present.

Diario AS reckon he’s been tipped for a position back at his former club working alongside Flick when he starts work as Xavi’s replacement.

Barca are said to be looking for someone who can speak Spanish and German and act as a liaison between manager and coach as he settles into life at Camp Nou.

Thiago played with Flick at Bayern Munich so seems to be top choice for the job if he does decide to hang up his boots now he’s left Liverpool.
