[tz] Thiago, 34, Gets Offered a Manager Job

AI Translated Image

Thiago Alcântara was undoubtedly world-class. From 2013 to 2020, he lifted countless trophies at Bayern Munich, and despite being a legend there, he moved to Liverpool amid tears. However, he didn't find happiness at Anfield, and last year, his great and successful playing career came to an end.

Thiago returned to Barcelona as a coach last year. For manager Hansi Flick, Thiago plays a crucial role in connecting the coaching staff, star players, and youth players, a role the 34-year-old clearly enjoys.

Thiago now has a reason to reconsider his career path. He has reportedly received his first managerial offer in La Liga. According to transfer expert Matteo Moretto, UD Levante wants Thiago. Levante, facing relegation, is seeking new energy for the team through a new manager.

With manager Julián Calero sacked, the club is searching for a replacement. There were reports of contact with Thiago, but he quickly decided the offer was premature. The 34-year-old Thiago appears set to remain at FC Barcelona for now, wanting to accumulate valuable experience under Hansi Flick.

Interestingly, various Spanish media outlets report that Levante was also interested in Raúl. Raúl refused the offer and is currently being discussed as Xabi Alonso's successor at Real Madrid. Manager Alonso, who led Bayer Leverkusen to the league title, is reportedly facing the sack at Real Madrid, and his position is highly unstable.

Thiago Alcântara is already regarded as one of the most promising future managerial candidates in Spanish football for the coming years. However, he seems to feel that now is not the right time to take on all the responsibilities of a manager. Considering his age (34), he knows he still has plenty of time, making this a wise decision. Perhaps Thiago’s name will someday reappear on the Bundesliga stage.
