Revealed: 3 more coaches Barca could contact in recent hours

Barcelona have added 3 names to the list of the candidates to replace Ronald Koeman, according to ESPN.

The first one is River Plate boss Marcelo Gallardo, who's a 2-time Copa Libertadores champion. Other credible sources claim that the Argentine doesn't plan to leave his current side, though.

The second one is Albert Capellas. The Spaniard is back to Barca as one of La Masia's managers after quite a successful spell with Denmark U21. The 53-year-old worked at Blaugrana between 2003 and 2010.

Finally, another new option is Ralf Rangnick who's currently a sporting director at Lokomotiv Moscow. The German has a broad coaching experience in the Bundesliga, managing teams like RB Leipzig, Hoffenheim and Schalke.

Xavi, Roberto Martinez and Andrea Pirlo remain the best-positioned managers to arrive at Barca, it is said.
