Former Liverpool Star Joins Barca’s Coaching Staff…
Thiago Alcantara, the maestro with feet so quick they could tie shoelaces mid-game, is returning to Barcelona to join forces with Hansi Flick again. After making 98 appearances for Liverpool, mostly spent chasing the injury list, he decided to retire last year. His coaching stint was short, lasting about as long as a professional’s warmup stretch, but he’s now back to keep the Spanish club on their toes. Reports say Thiago’s back in the Barcelona fold, as confirmed by transfer guru Fabrizio Romano. Thiago has always had a magic touch, turning even a corner kick into a strategic masterpiece.
Thiago’s previous bond with Flick is akin to Batman and Robin joining forces in sport’s gotham, with the two having clinched the 2020 Champions League at Bayern Munich. Flick holds Thiago in high regard, possibly more than his morning coffee, as they look to reclaim La Liga glory and avenge their Champions League exit. Thiago’s heartfelt reflection on Liverpool’s website shows he misses the game like a cat misses a laser pointer. Now, with the whistle ready in hand, he’s set to inspire Barca’s next football prodigies.
