Bojan to keep tabs on 11 players as part of his new role as Barcelona’s co-ordinator

A recent report from AS has highlighted the role of Bojan Krkic at Barcelona, as the former attacker has gained a role in the club’s inner circle.

Bojan, who was once regarded as one of the most promising talents at La Masia, was never really able to fulfil his potential.

But after leaving his professional career behind, Bojan has found himself a crucial role in the Barcelona board.

Bojan to be co-ordinator for FC Barcelona

As part of the new structure in place at the club, Bojan has been appointed as the new coordinator for FC Barcelona and one of the six members of the Sports Commission.

Even coach Xavi Hernandez is not part of the esteemed sports commission, with Bojan partnering with the likes of Rafa Yuste, Joan Soler, Enric Masip, Joan Laporta, and Deco.

Bojan’s ascension to the Barcelona board is hardly surprising, as the newly appointed sporting director Deco and club president Joan Laporta wanted him in an elevated role.

Bojan, after all, has strong connections to Barcelona, with his father notably serving as a scout for the club for over a decade.

Role of Bojan at Barcelona

As part of his responsibilities as a co-ordinator, Bojan is set to play a crucial role in tracking the development of players who are about to make a breakthrough in the senior side.

Lamine Yamal is an excellent case in point, and Bojan is working closely with the young winger, among other players in Barça Atletic setup.

In addition to this, Bojan has been handed an extended role by Laporta. The former attacker will keep close track of players who are on loan right now.

This includes Ansu Fati, Clement Lenglet, Sergino Dest, Julian Araujo, Pablo Torre, Eric Garcia, Chadi Riad, Estanis Pedrola, and Alex Valle, all of whom are away on loan.

Apart from these nine players, Bojan will also have the task of tracking the progress of two other players whom Barcelona sold this summer but have a buyback option – Nico Gonzalez and Ez Abde.

So, the former forward is set to have a big role in the club’s sporting structure as Barcelona look to keep track of how the talents away from the club are performing and progressing.
