Barcelona
Liverpool star has left the club and has joined FC Barcelona
Thiago Alcantara, the former Liverpool midfielder, is reportedly set to return to football just days after announcing his retirement. Despite stepping away from playing due to persistent injuries, the 33-year-old is on the brink of rejoining Barcelona, this time as a coach under new manager Hansi Flick. Thiago and Flick have a history together, having worked closely during their successful stint at Bayern Munich.
Thiago played a crucial role in Bayern Munich’s 2020 Champions League triumph, overcoming a groin injury to participate in key knockout matches against teams like Chelsea, Barcelona, Lyon, and Paris Saint-Germain. His experience and leadership were instrumental during that campaign, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure.
According to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Thiago is set to return to Barcelona to act as a bridge between Flick and the players. The report highlights the strong relationship between Thiago and Flick, with the former joining the coaching staff as a key collaborator. This move was hinted at earlier this week when Thiago was spotted at Barcelona’s training ground, suggesting that his integration into the coaching team is imminent.
For Thiago, this return to Barcelona is a significant milestone in his career. Having emerged from the renowned La Masia academy, where he played alongside legends like Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, Xavi, and Andres Iniesta, Thiago now comes full circle. His transition from player to coach at a club where he achieved immense success marks a new chapter in his lifelong association with football.
