Cáceres will put an end to its stage in Barça with a total of 49 games led between the OK League (34), the Wse Champions League (10), the Copa del Rey (1), the Super Cup of Spain (2) and the Catalan League (2). The balance is 37 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses, in which it has managed to win the title of the Spanish Super Cup and the OK League. In the club's decision to cut his career as a coach, he clearly weighs Barça's failure in the Champions League, in which he was not able to move from the group stage, being eliminated before the quarterfinals, and did not help the elimination in the Copa del Rey.
Apart from taking the reins at the head of the first team during the 2024/25 season, Cáceres has also been a technician of the fry and children (2021-2024) and assistant coach of Barça Atlètic during the same period that was part of the Barca formative hockey.
Ares, the relay, soon
Several information has been located for a few months, precisely after the KO of Barça in the Champions League, Ricardo Ares as the new tenant of the Blaugrana bench and successor of Cáceres. Another detail seems to corroborate the choice of the section directed by Gabriel Cairo: Ares, 50, announced only a few days ago left the position of coach in his so far club, the Portuguese Porto. Spanish former selector, Ares arrived at Porto in 2021 and in these four years he won three national championships, two Portugal Cups, an intercontinental glass, a Champions League and a continental cup. The announcement of his arrival to the bench may not take long.
