Although he was initially involved in this role, Thiago was unable to continue due to not having a work permit. As a result, he had to return to England at the start of the season.

Now, negotiations are taking place between Thiago and Barcelona to explore the possibility of him joining the team's coaching staff in a more formal capacity. If an agreement can be reached, Thiago will work alongside coach Flick, bringing his experience and expertise to the role.
