Rumor: Feyenoord Coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst in Running for Barcelona Job

The list of possible replacements for Luis Enrique as Barcelona manager could have just gotten a tiny bit longer, at least according to TuttoMercatoWeb. The Italian website says current Feyenoord coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst is in the running, alongside Everton’s Ronald Koeman and Tottenham Hotspur’s Mauricio Pochettino.

The Dutchman spent four seasons as a player at Barcelona, winning the Champions League. He also played for Feyenoord, RKC Waalwijk, Rangers, and Arsenal.

“Gio,” as he was known in Catalonia, ticks off the “Barça DNA” checkbox that the board are interested in.
