When finalising the present season the Barcelona group will remain without trainer for the first team. The announcement of Luis Enrique after the party in front of the Sporting of Gijón that it will not renew his agreement will leave to the club blaugrana without a leader in the footpath. They are many the names that have gone appearing in the press but the culés centre , for now, in only three candidates.
Of these three, in the last days has appeared with a lot of strength the name of Ernesto Valverde. The current trainer of the Athletic Club of Bilbao concludes his agreement the next 30 June and also has to decide if follow or no in the Basque group.
Ernesto Valverde, an old longing
Ernesto Valverde already sounded in more than an occasion to occupy the bench of the Barça when Andoni Zubizarreta was the sportive director, although the Basque technician preferred to remain in the Athletic. The aspirations to try win the UEFA Europe League or some another title with the "lions" prevailed in this moment.
- His pros:
In the present campaign 2016-17, will surpass to Javier Clemente like the trainer rojiblanco with more parties in the Athletic. It knows to perfection the FC Barcelona, where save him a big respect and consider him one of the best technicians of LaLiga Santander. In this sense, is not descabellado that the group culé give him the reins of the team since it marries with the philosophy of offensive game and appeal of the club.
- His contras:
His main idea is to renew his agreement with the "lions". Besides, it does not finish of calar inside the changing room and could finish like the "Tata" Martino, consumed by the staff to the not knowing impose to this. Seen the last technicians that has directed to the group blaugrana, seems that the "shots" go more by a man with a strong personality more than by a míster calm and pautado.
