Pol Planas reportedly set to become Dinamo Zagreb head coach

Pol Planas, the 35-year-old coach of Barcelona’s Juvenil A squad, is expected to become the new head coach of Dinamo Zagreb. While the Croatian club has not officially confirmed the appointment, multiple Spanish media outlets, including Sport and Mundo Deportivo, report that Planas has accepted the offer.

Planas has been part of the Barcelona academy since 2016, progressing through various youth categories. His potential move to Zagreb marks his first role leading a senior team. The appointment is reportedly supported by Dinamo’s director of football, Albert Capellas, who has extensive experience within the Barcelona system.

Dinamo has been without a permanent manager since Mario Kovačević’s departure on November 1. Interim coach Jerko Leko recently led the team to a 2:0 victory against Sunderland in the Europa League, but his engagement was limited to two specific matches. Planas would take over as Dinamo competes for the Croatian league title and seeks advancement in European competition.
