As reported by the RAC station, echoing information from the Russian press, José Mari Bakero, current technical secretary of Barça's training football, will shortly sign with Lokomotiv Moscow. Bakero, who ends his contract on June 30, will occupy an intermediate position between the sports management and the youth team in Russia.
Bakero, hero of Kaiserslautern and captain of Barça de Cruyff after Alexanco's mark and after Zubizarreta, returned to Barcelona in 2017. After organizing the acts of the 25th anniversary of the Wembley final and training for Barça Legends, he became as a club worker in order to be the person in charge of Barça B and the two youth teams, a position he continued to occupy with the arrival of Patrick Kluivert.
