When it seemed that at the moment the doors to direct the FC Barcelona had been closed for Rafa Márquez, at least for now, the situation seems to have had a drastic change in favor of the Mexican technical director who is once again positioning himself as a candidate for the position.
The culé sports manager, Deco, had pointed out on one occasion that they did not see Rafa Márquez as an option to occupy the Barça bench for next season after the announced departure of Xavi Hernandez to the point that they had renewed him as coach of FC Barcelona Atletic.
However, from Spain they point out that things have changed and according to a report from the Catalan newspaper Sport, Rafa Márquez would be considered as an option for next season. According to journalist David Bernabéu there are two determining factors in this change of direction.
On the one hand, the good moment that the Mexican coach is having at the helm of FC Barcelona Atletic, which is second in the classification of the Second Division B of Spanish football, would have made the managers pay more attention to the work that Rafa has been doing. Marquez.
Those led by the Mexican have gone 11 games without losing, of which the last four are victories to place themselves very close to achieving promotion to the Second Division. The Catalans have a record of 17 wins, six draws and seven losses, for a total of 57 points.
Only Deportivo La Coruña is ahead of them, a team that has experienced an ordeal in recent seasons after having been one of the regulars in LaLiga. The Galicians have one more point than the Catalans after 30 games played, with eight games left.
Another of the aspects that would be working in favor of Rafa Márquez to once again be considered as an option to occupy the FC Barcelona bench from next season is, according to Diario Sport, the difficulty that the board has had in obtaining a coach.
Since Xavi Hernández’s decision to leave the team became known, a long list of names have begun to be mentioned as candidates for the position, among which the German Jürgen Klopp stands out, who will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, but not yet. could have come to nothing.
That is why Rafa Márquez’s option becomes so relevant taking into account that he is a coach trained in the team, who also has the experience of having played for FC Barcelona during his time as a player. So as long as he continues to shine with Barcelona Atletic, the Mexican continues to position himself more and more.
