Former Liverpool star 'is set to join Barcelona as part of Hansi Flick's coaching set-up' next month

A former Liverpool star looks set to take up a role in the Barcelona coaching setup in the new year.

The player in question hung up his boots at the end of last season, opting to call time on a decorated playing career following the expiration of his contract at Anfield.

But instead of stepping away from football entirely, the renowned midfield maestro has embarked on a career in coaching.

And after spending time in the Barca dugout during their summer tour of the United States, Thiago Alcantara appears primed for a permanent reunion with the club where it all started.
