Huge-Shocker: An intriguing update surfaced in the competitive pursuit for the next manager of La Liga powerhouse as potential rival Roberto De Zerbi…
An intriguing update surfaced on Saturday in the competitive pursuit for the next manager of La Liga powerhouse Barcelona.
This revelation coincides with confirmation that a top candidate favoured by the Barcelona leadership was present to observe one of his main rivals for the position oversee his team’s preparations for his upcoming matchday.
Flick and De Zerbi have emerged as the frontrunners to succeed Xavi in the Barcelona dugout this summer. While De Zerbi is admired for his dynamic style of play, the substantial release clause in his contract with Brighton & Hove Albion presents a significant hurdle in any prospective agreement with Barcelona.
Hansi Flick spotted scouting Roberto De Zerbi
This development will undoubtedly pique the interest of not only Joan Laporta and the Camp Nou board but also Barcelona’s fans. It has been reported by Diario Sport and other sources that Hansi Flick was present at Brighton’s recent match on Saturday afternoon. Flick watched from the stands at Craven Cottage as the Seagulls suffered a 3-0 defeat to Fulham in the Premier League.
The reason for his visit is currently unknown. However, it’s conceivable that the former Bayern Munich manager traveled to London to essentially assess the competition for the vacant managerial position at Barcelona.

Brighton: Plans for two-storey fan zone at Amex football stadium
A planning application has been made for a fan zone outside Brighton & Hove Albion’s Amex stadium.
The two-storey building would replace the existing kiosks by the railway line at the end of the route to the ground from Falmer station.
The space will have food, drink and other shop space as well as toilets and storage facilities.
The planning application described the existing facilities around the stadium as “tired and worn”.
National Highways has said a fan zone would encourage regular visitors to arrive or depart over a wider time on match days and cut the impact on the busy A27.
The council has received three letters of support and one objection to the application on its website, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
Robert Hutton, from the University of Sussex, said: “The close proximity to campus makes it an ideal option for students seeking paid work outside of their studies.
“We already have students who work at the Amex and the fan zone will provide an additional employment opportunity, especially as it is most likely to be in operation at weekends and evenings.”
The Premier League club has said it would make a £15,770 developer contribution for employment and training if the application is approved.
The application by The Community Stadium Ltd will go before Brighton & Hove City Council on 6 March.
