Calendar of FC Barcelona

Ronald Koeman seems to have signed his sentence of death like trainer of the FC Barcelona. The Dutch arrived against the ropes to Lisbon this past Wednesday, but a victory could have him given something of credit to be still in the next parties. However, the ridiculous that saw in the Stadium Gives Luz does that the one of Zaandam have the days explained and can be sacked formally sooner that late.

But Joan Laporta will not precipitate in his decision, since it wants to have before to his successor tied and very tied. The problem is that the president still does not have clear what technical will relieve to the Dutch in case that it go to the street. As it comments , there are three favourite candidates, Xavi Hernández, Roberto Martínez and Andrea Pirlo, and other two that have fewer options, but that also like, Òscar Garcia and Joachim Low.

However, Jordi Sufficed has ensured in 'RAC1' that the club has a 'covered' of the that has not spoken and that also likes a lot. It would treat of Marcelo Gallardo, trainer of River Plate, that already sounded with strength in 2020 when Josep Maria Bartomeu decided to do without Ernesto Valverde. Mariano Juan, ex Argentinian and good player fellow of the 'Doll', as commonly it knows him in Argentina, it desveló in 'ESPN'.

"It was to hours to be technical of the Barcelona", aimed the ex footballer. Finally, the elected was Quique Setién, that fracasó in the few months in which it was at the top of the Barcelona. This summer, the entity sacked to the santanderino and hired in his place to Koeman, that a year and shortly after this is on a tightrope and with a foot and half out of the Camp Nou.

Now, Gallardo would go back to be considered an interesting alternative for suceder to the Dutch. The trainer of River has a lot of fame in Sudamérica after conquering the Glass Libertadores in 2018 in Santiago Bernabéu. Besides, it likes him play well to football and is allocated to give the jump to Europe sooner that late. However, can that happen of River to all a Barça could be a too big jump.

Gallardo, a risky option

Trust the 'Doll', that still has not trained in Europe and that only has experience in Argentina, would be risky. Nevertheless, therefore no it can him descartar, since Laporta does not crease in front of the challenges and if it trusts he will do it in spite of these doubts. In the next days will see what technical finish being the elected by the maximum mandator barcelonista, that in these moments follows having doubts.
