Roberto De Zerbi Tipped As Future Barcelona Manager
Written by Olaleye Oluwadamilola
It’s no surprise as to why Roberto De Zerbi has been previously linked to the Real Madrid job (in respect of his exploits at EPL side Brighton) due to the uncertainty over Brazil NT bound Carlo Ancelotti whose current deal ends this campaign and with no sign of talks of a contract extension, the rumors have gained grounds but in another big twist, the Italian tactician has been tipped for future managerial role at Barcelona, another football giant in Spain.
More Details
The Italian has developed a reputation as one of the best coaches in Europe in recent months after guiding the Seagulls to a first ever European qualification spot at the end of the 2022/23 season and the Brighton & Hove Albion head coach could be a future candidate to manage Barcelona.
It might not happen anytime soon with Xavi Hernandez set to be around for some more years beyond his current deal as De Zerbi’s current contract at the Amex Stadium runs until 2026 and he is also on the radar of rival Premier League sides and potentially Real Madrid which makes the competition for his signature so fierce.
However, his tactical approach fits well with Barcelona’s own style and ahead of La Blaugrana’s Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk, Georgiy Sudakov who played under De Zerbi during his time in charge at the Ukrainian side in the 2021/22 campaign has predicted De Zerbi could one day manage in Catalonia.
As per reports from Diario Sport, Sudakov: “I’m sure Roberto De Zerbi will lead one of the giants of football in future. He’s a very solid coach, I remember him as a very impulsive person. I think De Zerbi can coach any team in the world, that doesn’t matter if it’s Manchester City or Barcelona.”
