Lionel Messi has chosen the next manager for Barcelona

Lionel Messi has insisted Barcelona secure this Leeds’ Argentine coach.

Lionel Messi has chosen an Argentine coach as his ideal manager to replace Quique Setien at Barcelona for the next season.


Marcelo Bielsa is up for a new contract with Leeds and is yet to sign one with just 1 week remaining in his current deal. Reportedly, Messi wants Barca to lure the Argentine compatriot and replace the current coach, Quique Setien.

Coach Setien came under a lot of criticism after Barca lost the La Liga to their rivals, Real Madrid. Initially, they had a lead but with poor management as well as inconsistent performance on the pitch, the Blaugranas quickly slipped down the table and lost bitterly.

A rare occurrence was the club Captain’s vocal expression of his disappointment with everyone including the President. While club president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, made some questionable moves like selling young Arthur Melo for an aging Miralem Pjanic just to be financially secure, it’s his open dismissal and blaming the players, especially Messi, for all the club problems that led to Messi’s anger and outburst.

While the Argentine and Spanish coach have also never gotten along, their differences have started to affect the game and Messi strongly believes that new leadership is the need of the hour. He believes that the Yorkshire boss could turn things around for them, especially after the way he exceptionally handled the Leeds. He not only led them back to Premier League but also helped them win the Championship title.

While Bartomeu has one year left on his tenure, he may look to bring the Argentine coach in to please Leo and convince him to secure a contract renewal. While Bielsa has an expressive and dominant play style that could fit in very well with the Barca philosophy and way of playing, it remains to be seen whether he will agree to move as a one-season solution for the Catalans.

While Laurent Blanc and Patrick Kluvert have also been named as possible replacements for Setien, it remains to be seen what the board does amidst the rising tensions due to the politics of the Presidentship and elections.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
