The name of ex-Barca midfielder Thiago has of course returned to the forefront of the headlines in Spain across the week to date.
This comes after widespread confirmation was forthcoming that the 34-year-old is all set to rejoin Hansi Flick’s staff.
After spending time aiding Flick’s settling in period in Barcelona in the summer of 2024, the Spaniard has agreed on the terms of a fresh deal with the Camp Nou brass.
And as alluded to above, on Wednesday, an insight into precisely what role Thiago is expected to fill has been forthcoming.
The info comes courtesy of Mundo Deportivo, who have confirmed that:
‘In addition to serving as a liaison between Hansi Flick and the squad, as he did during his first stint as assistant at the start of last season, the idea is for the former Barça player to also keep a close eye on all the young players in the squad.’
