Agent Jean-Pierre Bernes says the French coach hasn't spoke with the Catalan club

The former Paris Saint-German manager had a bried spell at Camp Nou as a player

Who will be the Barcelona manager next season? We don't even know if Josep Maria Bartomeu and his board have the answer to that question. We don't know if they've already taken a decision, but for everyone else we remain in the dark about the answer to that question. 

And while we don't have an answer, the rumours continue. Rumours and quotes from managers and their agents. 

One of the names linked with the job is Laurent Blanc. He was a player at Camp Nou, knows the club and is currently out of work. After leaving PSG he decided he wanted to rest, now, according to his agent Jean-Pierre Menes, he is ready to work again.

"He needed to rest and he's rested," he said to Canal Plus. "Now he's ready to return. The priority is to work abroad. But other than that, I don't know what could happen." 

Menes says even though we're only in April, Blanc already has "numerous offers from clubs and national teams" and also spoke about Barça's possible interest. 

"I don't know many managers that wouldn't dream of working at Barça, but there's been no contact with them," he said.
