Barcelona sports chief Deco believes that Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique is the right man to take over from Xavi Hernandez next season.
The PSG manager had a successful previous stint at Barca between 2014 and 2017.
He led the team to a famous Champions League title win in 2015.
Deco sees Enrique as the ideal replacement for the current boss, who will step down once the season reaches its end, as reported by Cadena SER.
The Portuguese has already made contact with the Spaniard, who signed a deal with PSG that expires in 2025.
Other names being linked with the Barcelona job include Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi and free agent Hansi Flick.
