Barcelona’s search for a new manager continues and the rumor mill cannot stop coming up with new names for the position, but one coach has been consistently linked with the job: Roberto De Zerbi.
The young Italian coach is one of the most promising managers in Europe and has done a very good job at Sassuolo as well as Brighton and Hove Albion, and he’s been linked not only with Barcelona but also with Liverpool and Bayern Munich who are also on the hunt for a new boss this summer.
De Zerbi was recommended to Barça president Joan Laporta by Barça legend Pep Guardiola, and he does appear to be a strong candidate to take over once Xavi Hernández leaves the job at the end of the season.
