After running out of Pochettino and without Marcelino, he announces a third two days before the elections
the bumps of Barkala with the coach would be reason enough not to win the elections Athletic. Desperately, after running out of agreement with Pochettino, the last week of the candidate has become a torment. He tried by all means to convince again Marcellinbut the Asturian, proud as he alone, also gave him pumpkins.
However, neither short nor lazy, the good guy Barkala has been forced to lift the coach to Jon Uriarte. Surely, two days before the elections, he had no way of convincing a third party. There were two options: either raise the coach to Arechabaleta or do the same with Uriarte.
Barkala in desperation with the coach
Obviously, Iñaki Arechabaleta’s coach is impossible to convince. Marcelo Bielsa is not sold to anyone. He has an agreement with a candidate and his respect and honor prevent him from any other movement. For this reason, the only possibility for Barkala to have a coach next Friday in the elections was to knock on Uriarte’s door.
We do not know how the negotiation took place. Whether Jon Uriarte was aware or not. But it sounds quite surreal as he has turned the tables. From Barkala’s candidacy, through his media loudspeakers, it was criticized that Uriarte did not announce names. “He doesn’t have anyone”, he even said to himself.
Ernesto Valverde with Uriarte and with Barkala
Jon Uriarte, indeed, was the one who later announced his coach. He did it this past Tuesday, by launching a video on social networks with the figure of Ernesto Valverde. Well, just a few hours later, Barkala surprised by also announcing Valverde as coach on his plate.
The fact is that the final debate, even if it is three candidates, is two coaches. Marcelo Bielsa or Ernesto Valverde. The only thing that is clear, beyond the quarrels between candidates, is that, whoever wins, Athletic will have a top coach who is well loved by the vast majority of athleticzales.
