"Barcelona" team actively seeks the future successor of Xavi.

Catalans face a difficult task, as the "hot" seat is not currently desired by many famous specialists.

As reported by "Marca", the Catalans have also identified a backup option.

If they fail to summon a well-known strategist by summer, then "Barca" would probably consider signing a contract with their former coach Frank Rijkaard.

The 61-year-old coach, who after a career stint with the Saudi Arabian national team (2011-2013) was out of football for a while, has already received a call from the president of the "La Liga" team, Joan Laporta.
