Former Liverpool star 'is set to join Barcelona as part of Hansi Flick's coaching set-up' next month A former Liverpool star looks set to take up a role in the Barcelona coaching setup in the new year.
Thiago ended his career having one almost everything there was to win, earning league titles in Spain and Germany as well as winning the Champions League twice.
Thiago made just the one appearance for Liverpool in his final season as continued injury problems forced the Spaniard into retirement.
Thiago's initial tenure with Barcelona was only on a short-term basis, with the club announcing that his duties were going to be carried out by experienced La Masia coach Arnau Blanco upon his exit in August.
And after spending time in the Barca dugout during their summer tour of the United States, Thiago Alcantara appears primed for a permanent reunion with the club where it all started.
