Thiago Alcántara Departs Barcelona Coaching Staff
Thiago Alcántara Steps Down from Coaching Role
Former Bayern Munich, Liverpool FC, and FC Barcelona midfielder Thiago Alcántara joined Hansi Flick’s coaching staff in Catalonia, but his stint is over per Sky Sport reporter Florian Plettenberg. The Athletic captured some comments from Flick on the matter as well. “It was clear before that we have a very good relationship,” Flick said on Friday. “When he played for Liverpool we were very connected. We have called each other and he has made the decision to leave. He wants to be a great coach in the future and he has helped us a lot here.” Thiago Alcántara's desire to focus on his family is understandable, given his esteemed career and young children.
Future Aspirations of Thiago Alcántara
At 33-years-old, with kids, and a multi-millionaire, an immediate, full-time jump into coaching was probably never fully in the cards for Thiago Alcántara. However, he did enough to get his feet wet, understand the rigors of the profession, and has a full grasp on how his life would work if he were to go back to the job on a permanent basis.
