Roberto Martinez It has become one of the names that has generated the most rumors in the world of football in recent weeks. First because of FC Barcelona’s interest in hiring him (which has been forgotten because the club’s Board of Directors wants Xavi Hernández) and then because of the painful defeat against France in the semi-finals of the UEFA Nations League, where he lost a 2-0 lead with just 45 minutes to play.
Spanish is on everyone’s lips and, in the last few hours, it has become one of the main options for the new owners of the Newcastle united to fill in for Steve Bruce in the coming months. News that is not surprising.
A new option for the bench
The Magpies, who are going through a difficult time, are looking for a new coach because the new owners do not trust Steve Bruce to lead their project in the coming years. Beyond the defeat at the weekend against Tottenham Hotspur, the English coach does not proclaim an offensive and cheerful football that can empower the stars who want to sign in the next markets. The club’s fans don’t want him to stay either, and they made this very clear in Saturday’s game, where they began calling for him to leave the club.
Roberto Martínez is one of the many options they have at Newcastle to start their project. The Spaniard has experience in the Premier League and knows what it’s like to manage a talented squad, which is why he is ahead of many names on the list. The other names that have sounded in recent days are the following:
-Unai Emery
-Jose Mourinho
-Lucien Favre
-Frank Lampard
-Steven Gerrard
