Barcelona are currently on the hunt for a chef for the team, following a complaint from star striker Robert Lewandowski. Coach Hansi Flick is the one who asked for the change.
According to Sport, Barcelona’s nutrition department, sporting director Deco and Joan Laporta’s former brother-in-law Alejandro Echevarría are conducting interviews for the team’s chef position. The change stems from a complaint by Lewandowski about how the eggs were prepared. Flick took note of the complaint and conveyed his concern to the club, requesting the hiring of a professional chef.

The German coach has made it clear that he wants to control all aspects of the players’ recovery and fitness, and diet is clearly part of that. This has been seen in the travel changes of the Blaugrana squad this season. While Barcelona previously typically returned from their trips late that same night, Flick has ensured his players get a good night’s sleep before returning the next day.
