ANDhe Barcelona was looking for a coach in the first days of January. He played sticks of all kinds. The first choice to replaceValverde was Xavi Hernndez, but the one who gave Barca’s opinion rejected the proposal. The search continued and two more candidates appeared. OneMauricio Pochettino and the other Ronald Koeman.New refusals, in this case twice. One painful, that of the Netherlands, and the other expected, that of the Argentine.
Pochettino wasoff the bench at Tottenham, not from the London club. The proposal made by the Catalan club surprised the former Spanish coach, althoughit was always clear that this bench was not his,As he had repeated on more than one occasion.
Despite the first response, the Barça leaders sent London toan emissary in order to probe Daniel Levy, since Pochettino could not go to another club without the toll imposed by the owner of the English club. The trip was in vain: Pochettino was very clear about it.He knows that destiny is not his. A matter of principle.
From May 20no longer an employee of Tottenhamand you are already free to negotiate. Maintains the two-year contract, but does not maintain a professional bond. The technician does not contemplate signing for any team. Several have already approached, but look for a project. ANDWhen I sign I will do it thinking with my head, but without forgetting my heart.
