After the World Cup in Qatar, the ex of FC Barcelona will leave the vacancy of coach in the Spanish team
the cycle of Luis Enrique is about to see its end, according to some media focused on the current situation of the national team. All this has led to the board planning to reconcile with some substitutes, which, as is well known, requires a deeper process due to the importance given to the subject.
Under that concept they have limited the list to only two, both with a past at Athletic Club de Bilbao: Marcelino Garcia Toral and Ernesto Valverde. Although it is true that the first starts with an advantage, nobody dares to give a winner until the first step from the high command in the Federation is made official.
Possible substitutes for Luis Enrique fight in their own way for the place of privilege in the Spanish team
According to some spokespersons within the Federation, Marcelino is the one who looks best in this regard. The reasons may be many, but they have based everything on two points, which is his validity (with verifiable current status) and his contract. The strategist ends his contract on June 30 and has no intention of extending it.
The change of president is not interesting, nor the recommendations of Aitor Elizegi, Marcelino has exhausted his cycle in the Basque team and seeks to position himself either on the route of the national team or on the bench of Atlético de Madrid. That conviction led him to win the place, which has yet to be made official in the times established by law.
One step further back Valverde awaits his moment
On the sides of the ‘Txingurri’ all the attention has been paid after having affirmed that he has rejected offers for waiting for this moment. His great desire is to take the reins of the senior team, having as a letter of introduction his interventions at RCD Espanyol and the culé team.
To all this, the future of Luis Enrique seems to be tied to Manchester United. The British would be waiting for his endorsement, to keep Ralf Rangnick in office and thus avoid bringing someone else closer and then having to resort to legal proceedings with compensation for the case.
