CARLO ANCELOTTI and Barcelona boss Hansi Flick are reportedly considering going on strike.
The season is just a few weeks old but managers in LaLiga are ready to step away over an ongoing dispute.
Managers in Spain feel aggrieved after several clubs failed to pay their sacked bosses compensation.
Clubs in LaLiga are able to sack their head coach and withhold severance pay until a hearing is held and an agreement reached over the amount they are owed.
