Who Is The Offered Coach?

Mundo Deportivo reveals that the club’s close relationship with agent Jorge Mendes has allowed them to receive an offer to appoint Laurent Blanc as their new coach. Mendes has not only represented Portuguese international Nelson Semedo but also helped them secure their latest signing of Francisco Trincao.

Blanc is well known for his achievements with Paris Saint-Germain, winning everything but the Champions League, and Barca could potentially bring him on considering the number of French internationals currently residing in the squad. While he would be the first non-Spanish coach since Frank Rijkaard, the French manager could potentially be signed to improve their chances of reuniting with Neymar considering Blanc’s close relationship with the Parisiens side.
