With the current coach announcing he will leave Barcelona at the end of the season, the former Camp Nou idol thinks the Argentine should take over
Barcelona legend Hristo Stoichkov feels Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli is the right man to replace Luis Enrique as the man in charge at Camp Nou.
Luis Enrique announced after Wednesday's 6-1 victory over Sporting Gijon that he will step down at the end of the season after three years as the Catalans' head coach.
Why Barcelona should appoint Sampaoli
Ronald Koeman, Mauricio Pochettino and Ernesto Valverde are among those to have since been linked with the position, but Stoichkov believes Sampaoli is the perfect candidate following his successes with Chile and now Sevilla – who sit third in LaLiga and two points behind leaders Barca.
