The main candidates for the bench of the FC Barcelona

When finalising the present season the Barcelona group would 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. Several near sources to the club have informed that Ernesto Valverde, Jorge Sampaoli and Ronald Koeman would be the technicians by which would bet from the sportive direction.

This does not want to say that it have to be one of the three himself or yes, as all they have current agreement and his signing could complicate. There are other names that could be the covered but to by which only will go if they fail these three bazas. From FCBN have wanted to analyse to these technicians and the why of the interest blaugrana by them.

-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 can go to by Valverde if Luis Enrique decide to do the cases and rest with his family.

• His contras:

Recently it has spoken that it is very near to renew his agreement with the group rojiblanco what will do more difficult to convince it to him and to his club. 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.

-Jorge Sampaoli, with the guarantee of the heavy weights 

The exseleccionador of Chile now to the controls of the Seville FC Jorge Sampaoli is the favourite of the bloated, as it remained clear in the last survey of FCBN, and also of several media. His competitiveness, form to be and obsession by the football do him be the candidate crashes of the list.

• His pros:

Has livestock to the fuselage insignia of the team, Leo Messi. The Argentinian has many win to be trainer by Jorge and east, train to Leo. It has won two Glasses America with Chile and has achieved to reflect his game to the Seville FC, where is all a feeling.

"I read it is not the only integral of the MSN with which has had a conversation privately. Also it has done it with Neymar. Sampaoli Has dined in the house of the Brazilian in Barcelona. It was during his sabbatical semester, in a trip that the casildense did by Spain and that included a visit to the official loge of the Camp Nou", said recently in "The Chart". 

Also it joins him to the Barça the fourth Barcelona captain: "(...) By something, the Brazilian was running behind Mascherano to give him an embrace after that 2-1 that him propinaron to the Seville by League. It did it behind Mascherano, that has with Sampaoli a common denominator: Renato Cesarini, the club founded by the brothers Solari and Onega in the outskirts of Rosario. There, Masche crossed part of his training like footballer (completed in River) and Sampa, like trainer".

• His contras: 

Jorge Sampaoli to penalties carries six months in the European football, by what is missing him experience. That is a handicap in his against to the hour to do at the head of a bench like the one of the Barça. Another would be the one who was near to sign his renewal with the group hispalense. 

Ronald Koeman, the "another" heir of Wembley

To the equal that Pep Guardiola, Ronald Koeman would recover the winning spirit of the disciples of Johan Cruyff that did with the Glass of Europe in Wembley. The Dutch has grown a lot like trainer since it was for the last time in LaLiga to the control of Valencia Cf. Nevertheless, and controversial extradeportivas in that team to part, Koeman raised the Glass of the King with the blanquinegros. First in the Southampton and afterwards in the Everton, the technician has showed to be to the height of a competition like the Premier League.

• His pros:

It knows to perfection Can Barça and his offensive style does him ideal to fit with the game of the Barça. It knows to perfection all the estamentos of the club, is an idol for the fans and also forms part of this ointment of exjugadores culés that have gone out trainers of first level.

• His contras: 

"The reason by which signed here is because have a project. We need time, but want to grow inside and out of the field", was what said the trainer when it asked after him the possibility to sign by the Barcelona does weeks.
