Another candidate has emerged for the position of Barcelona's coach

The Catalan Barcelona, following Xavi's announcement of departure, is in search of a new coach for the upcoming season. The club has recently been linked with rumors involving star coaches, and today, another candidate has emerged on the long list.

Information from Teamtalk suggests that Unai Emery, the current head coach of Aston Villa in Birmingham, may return to his homeland this summer. Barcelona's management is closely monitoring the success of "The Villans" under Emery's guidance and has shown serious interest in the 52-year-old Spanish coach. Currently, Emery has a contract with Aston Villa until June 30, 2025.

It's worth noting that this season, Aston Villa are fighting for a top-four spot in the Premier League, and in the UEFA Conference League, they will compete against Olympiacos for a spot in the final. Emery has previously managed teams such as Valencia, Almeria, Sevilla, PSG, Arsenal, and Villarreal.
