"As per a fresh report from Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are preparing for the possibility that assistant coach Marcus Sorg will lead the team from the sidelines if Hansi Flick's suspension is confirmed ahead of the El Clasico. Despite rumours suggesting Thiago Alcantara could step in, the club plans for Sorg to take charge should the head coach be forced to watch from the stands."
"Flick's dismissal during the game against Girona led the RFEF to impose a one-match suspension, effectively ruling him out of Sunday's trip to the Santiago Bernabeu. Barcelona have filed an appeal, hoping the Appeals Committee will lift the ban, but optimism remains low. The Blaugrana have reportedly struggled to provide video proof showing that Flick's applause was not an act of dissent but rather a gesture towards one of his players. Without that crucial evidence, the disciplinary ruling is unlikely to be overturned."
Barcelona are preparing for Marcus Sorg to lead the team from the sidelines if Hansi Flick's suspension is confirmed ahead of El Clasico. Thiago Alcantara will not assume control despite holding a valid coaching licence, and none of Flick's other assistants are expected to take charge. Flick received a red card against Girona and the RFEF imposed a one-match suspension, ruling him out of the Santiago Bernabeu trip. Barcelona have filed an appeal but have limited optimism. The club has struggled to provide video proof that Flick's applause was not dissent. Sorg previously stepped up during Flick's two-game ban at the end of 2024.
