Barcelona Shortlists Henry As Setien's Replacement by Cradle007(op): 9:36am On Aug 16, 2020

Barcelona are considering their former striker Thierry Henry as a replacement for outgoing boss Quique Setien, reports Diario Sport.

The former striker is currently the coach of MLS side Montreal Impact, who he has guided to just one victory in his six games in charge.

The Frenchman previously was assistant coach to Roberto Martinez at Belgium before taking his first managerial job at Monaco, whom he tasted victory with just four times across 20 games, before being dismissed in January 2020.

Henry scored 49 goals for the Blaugrana across three seasons and is now on their managerial shortlist, which is said to include former Barcelona defender Ronald Koeman – current coach of the Netherlands.

Massimiliano Allegri (formerly of Milan and Juventus) and Mauricio Pochettino are also said to be on the shortlist, but Xavi Hernandez is not, as he has no interest in taking on the role at present.

It is reported that Barcelona will initiate contacts with representatives of Henry, Pochettino, Allegri and Koeman this weekend, as they look to refine their shortlist.

Setien is set to be dismissed by Barcelona on Monday, after the club called an extraordinary board meeting following their embarrassing 8-2 Champions League exit to Bayern Munich.

na jus shortlist na...jamb shortlist you no mean say you go gey admission..mk barca no try am oo
bt its a nice thing being among the shortlisted bcoz it means he is doing something right but reports from spain says dt koeman already have the job, he was spotted buying properties in Barcelona last week and he was seen in an airport in spain last nite, they would be a board meeting this noon to making setien sack official and announce koeman if all things go as planned...
crazY fact- barca would pay Liverpool £5m if bayern wins the ucl going by the ealier agreed clause on coutinho deal dt they would pay that fee if he win the ucl with any team...dts barca paying after wat bayern n coutinho did, dts insane..

Is it that Barcelona is cursed or what? Should his name even be crossing their minds? I pray we won't follow our brothers @ Espanyol to their division next season

That means he's a prospect in becoming a coach there, more of clubs these days are now opting for younger coaches as their experience at the club plays a major role in improving the clubs capacity to perform, case study lampard from derby county to where he is now.
