The 48-year-old technician warned that he had no plans to stay on a bench for a long time. “I was a better footballer than a coach. There have been better ones, even if I am happy with what I have done, but with me it will be like that. I would not train for 20 years, I do not know how long. I don’t foresee anything, which drives me on a daily basis. Then I will do other things. In my head, I have always been a footballer, I played 18 or 19 years old and when I was asked if I was going to train, I said no. In the end, I am, but it exhausts me a lot.“
Under contract until June 2022 with the La Liga leader, the 1998 world champion nevertheless warns of his possible departure from the Merengue. “No one should interpret what I say. The reality is that I am part of the best team in the world and I am fine (…) My future is the least important.”
