Barcelona have officially confirmed that Thiago is now part of Hansi Flick’s coaching staff after returning to the club for a second stint with the German boss.
Thiago is expected to look after the youngest players, particularly the midfielders, and to use his experience and knowledge to help them succeed at Barcelona.
Here’s the club’s official statement:“First official day on the job for Thiago Alcantara as a member of the coaching staff. The former blaugrana player started work on the grass today as a member of the first team coaching staff as an assistant coach to Hansi Flick.
“His role will involve helping with tactical aspects and preparing training sessions, among other things, bringing his experience and vision of the game to enrich the squad’s day to day work.”
Thiago was on the training ground on Thursday with the squad now back to full strength after all Barca’s internationals returned this week.
