Thiago Alcantara has made a return to FC Barcelona, but this time not as a player. The former midfielder has joined the club’s backroom staff, a move initiated by newly appointed manager Hansi Flick.
After a playing career, Alcantara recently announced his retirement from professional football. His decision to transition into a non-playing role has brought him back to familiar territory at Barcelona, where he spent a significant part of his early career.
