Former AC Milan manager, Arrigo Sacchi, has named Brighton & Hove Albion boss, Roberto De Zerbi, as the perfect coach to manage Liverpool and Barcelona.
Liverpool will part ways with their current manager Jurgen Klopp at the end of the season.
Similarly, Barcelona will also part ways their current manager Xavi this summer.
Both Liverpool and Barcelona are at the moment in search of a manager that would take over from Klopp and Xavi, respectively.
A host of names, including De Zerbi have been linked with the Liverpool and Barca jobs.
Speaking on the development,
Sacchi said, as quoted by HITC Sport:
“I have known him [De Zerbi] since he was a youth player at Milan.
“He is ideal for Liverpool, but above all for Barca. And I will explain why.
“It all started years ago. When he was at Foggia, he came to my house and we talked.”
He added: “After that talk, we agreed that he would send me videos of his football. Four or five games.
“When I saw them, I called a Serie A club to sign him. He was a revolutionary. De Zerbi is a strategist, and not an Italian-style tactician.”
