Starting to be a coach is not an easy task, so Rafael Marquez agreed to coach a youth team in the third division of Spain. Without waiting for a significant remuneration, the former Barcelona player only accepted the job to take his first steps as a coach. It's a great attitude from Marquez that Chicharito Hernandez could emulate for his future.

In the last hours, the president of Chivas de Guadalajara had said that Chicharito refused to play there because his salary had to be reduced and that is why he preferred to stay in the LA Galaxy. Rafa Marquez, on the other hand, prefers not to earn so much money in order to have the best job for his future as a coach.

It is estimated that Rafael Marquez's salary does not exceed $ 5,000 per month, a much lower salary than he received, for example, in MLS. During his time at NYCFC, it is estimated that he earned about $ 1.5 million annually. That is to say, today Marquez does not charge even 10% of what he received in his time as a professional player.

Rafael Marquez is hoping to get his UEFA professional coach title to be able to make the big leap and be a coach of a larger team, but in the meantime he is content with training in the third division of Spain and doing it almost for free. Rafael Marquez's future as a coach is believed to be very promising. The former player for Barcelona and the Mexican team accepted a small salary in order to have his first job as a coach
