Barcelona's first-team squad would reportedly welcome the appointment of Patrick Kluivert as the club's new head coach.
With the Catalan giants having surrendered the La Liga title to Real Madrid, Quique Setien is expected to be removed from his position in the dugout in the coming weeks.
While club legend Xavi has been linked with a future return to Camp Nou, reports in Spain suggest that another former player is one of the frontrunners to replace Setien.
Although Kluivert's managerial experience in club football is limited to youth sides at FC Twente and Ajax, the legendary Dutchman has spent the last 12 month as academy director at Barcelona.
The report suggests that the 44-year-old's understanding of life on and off the pitch at Barcelona could prove pivotal when a potential appointment is made before the resumption of the Champions League.
Barcelona are also in a position where they are likely to introduce more prospects into the first-team picture, another factor which could play in Kluivert's favour.
