As the current FC Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has announced a few weeks back that he will not be managing next season. He needs a break said Lucho. Let's look at the three main potential candidates -
1) Ernesto Valverde - Current Athletic Bilbao Manager
Athletic Bilbao Stats this season with rating according to the club's level - Average Possession - 50% [Average]
Pass completion - 74% [Average]
League possession - 7th [Average]
Playstyle - Attempt crosses often. Very strong with aerial duels.
Verdict - Valverde has decent experience in the Spanish la Liga but Valverde is not suitable for Barcelona. He has been doing just decent with Bilbao and his playstyle is not suitable for Barcelona.
2) Ronald Koeman - Current Everton Manager
Everton Stats this season with rating according to the club's level -
Possession - 51% [Average]
Pass completion - 78% [Average]
League possession - 7th [Above average because of bad couple of last seasons]
Playstyle - Using the wings. Through balls. Short passing.
Verdict - Ronald Koeman is a good manager. His style suits Barcelona more than Valverde. But one negative is he does not have experience in the Spanish Liga.
3) Jorge Sampaoli - Current Sevilla Manager
Sevilla Stats this season with rating according to the club's level -
Possession - 56% [Above average]
Pass completion - 81% [Above average]
League position - 2nd [Good]
Playstyle - Possession football. Short Passing. Through balls.
Verdict - Sampaoli has experience in Spanish Liga. He has done great with Sevilla. Has suitable style for Barcelona. Also, he is good with multiple formations and rotating the team.
Therefore, Sampaoli should be the ideal manager for Barcelona next season.
