Key staff member leaves Hansi Flick’s Barcelona setup

This comes with the former midfielder seemingly on the lookout for a more prominent position.
After bringing an early close to his playing career, Thiago for his part secured a return to Barcelona last September. The 35-year-old was hired to Hansi Flick’s staff to act as something of a link between coaching staff and players.
