Less than two weeks after kick442.com reported that, the former Cameroon assistant coach Patrick Kluivert was to go separate ways with his then head coach Clarence Seedorf,reports have emerged from Camp Nou to confirm that Kluivert is set to start a new adventure without Clarence Seedorf.
In the last few days,the board of Barcelona FC especially the sporting commission have been working hard to install the new structure for La Masia going forward.
This is as a result of of the consistent inconsistent results recorded by youth team of the club in recent years.
The Barca board seems keen to restructure the current youth system.
On Friday former Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes was named the new head coach of the Juvenil A side.He replaces Denis Silva whose new role is still to be made public.
The Youth Academy Director position is the next to be filled after Valdes’ appointment. Barça is keen on getting a high profile “Barca person” for the job. Patrick Kluivert is bookmakers favourites for the job.
If all works well,Patrick Kluivert will be returning to the Camp Nou in the days ahead
Kluivert enjoyed a successful career as a player on the books of great clubs like Ajax,Milan, Barcelona, Newcastle,Lille amonsgt others in a 14 years senior club career that took him to clubs in 5 European countries.
Since his retirement as a player in 2008,the 43 year old has been assistant manager at AZ Akmar, Brisbane Roar,NEC, Netherlands and Cameroon National teams plus head coach of Curacao, Ajax Youth and Sporting Director of PSG.
Should it happen in the hours ahead, then the new adventure for the Dutchman will come less than a week after he lost his job as deputy coach of the Cameroon National team that was knocked out in the round of 16 in the 2019 AFCON.
