Earlier this week, it was reported that Thiago Alcantara will join Hansi Flick’s coaching staff at Barcelona. The former midfielder, who also played for Bayern Munich and Liverpool, recently confirmed his decision from football at the tender age of 33, following a string of injury problems over the last few years.
Barcelona have yet to announce Thiago’s arrival, but it seems that he has already begun work. During training on Thursday, the first proper session of pre-season, he was spotted in the background of a video published on the club’s official media channels.

It’s believed that Thiago is still in talks with Barcelona over the involvement that he would have in the club’s first team coaching staff. There’s been speculation that he may only be a temporary appointment.
Hansi Flick has been desperate to recruit Thiago to his coaching staff, and this sighting all-but confirms that he has got his wish. It remains to be seen when he is officially announced by Barcelona.
