At talkSPORT said Murphy about his personal choice for the position of the next Barça coach: “I would give it to Messi.”
The former professional, who once won the UEFA Cup with Liverpool FC, gave his reasoning: “The fans would be on board immediately. Everything he touches turns to gold. He was sent to this earth to do great things “It won’t stop if he becomes coach.”
Xavi announced at the weekend that he would be leaving Barcelona after around two and a half years. In the summer it will be over for Messi’s former team-mates and ex-Barça players Rafa Marquez (Barça Athletic) and Thiago Motta (FC Bologna), among others, are being considered as successors.
There are no rumors about Lionel Messi, after all, the eight-time winner of the Ballon d’Or hasn’t even ended his playing career yet. Barcelona’s former captain is under contract with Inter Miami until the end of 2025 and announced last year that he did not plan to pursue a career as a head coach. At Star+ he said that he saw himself more as a “sports director or responsible for team building. But I’m not sure yet.”
