The upcoming appointment of Jordi Cruyff as Barcelona's sporting director is attracting a lot of interest not only in Catalonia, but also in the Netherlands.
Last night (Friday) an extensive profile article was published about Cruyff, who is expected to soon leave his role as Chinese coach Shenzhen and join Joan Laporta's ambitious project, in the biggest role he has received in his career.
The article devotes a long reference to Cruyff's time at Maccabi Tel Aviv, including a reference to former Yellows coach Peter Boss, who stood on the lines in Kiryat Shalom in 2016.
"I have no shadow of a doubt that Jordi can be a great sporting director for Barcelona," said Boss, recalling: "He is a very intelligent guy with a unique vision. He was always on the phones, he had contacts all over the world and he had an amazing acquaintance with "The industry all over the globe. He's smart, original and creative, just like his dad. Sometimes when he would talk, I would close my eyes and hear Johan speak. So much so that their thinking is similar."

Boss said he learned a lot from Cruyff during his time in Israel.
"When I came to Maccabi Tel Aviv, Jordi already had a deep familiarity with local football. When I tried to schedule two training sessions a day, he told me, 'Don't do it here. One intense training is enough, two is too much for them.' There were other things he taught. Me. As a coach, I used to inform the players about the squad two days before the game, so that we could prepare for the rivalry on a spot basis. Jordi told me, 'Here it's different. If you announce the squad two days before games, the players "Yes, they will not do too much." I realized that this is how I lose two days of training every week, so I stopped with that. "
This morning, Eran Zehavi also referred to Cruyff's upcoming appointment as part of an interview he gave to Telharaf.
"Jordi and I have an excellent relationship. When I played for Maccabi Tel Aviv, he had a lot of conversations and a lot of consultations, so I know very well what a professional he is. In my opinion, he is able to do this job at the highest level. He will be the right man in the place. "Right to develop the club and to take it forward. I think he always knew that one day he would come to Barça. When that happens, I will be the happiest in the world for him."
