He hasn't even arrived at Barcelona yet, Rafa Marquez receives the worst news
Rafael Marquez has not received good news from Barcelona
FC Barcelona is going through one of the biggest crises they have experienced in recent years, as they are having poor results and are in fourth place in La Liga. They also lost the final of the Spanish Super Cup against Real Madrid, and were eliminated from the Copa del Rey against Athletic Club.
Now, after the 5-3 defeat against Villarreal, Xavi Hernandez announced that he will leave the club this summer, so Barcelona's search for a new coach has already begun, and in the Barcelona newspapers they point to 3 main names.
Rafael Marquez, Thiago Motta and Hansi Flick are the main options of the Barcelona board. Now, Rafael Marquez was asked about the option of replacing Xavi, and this was his response: you can't say no to an opportunity like that. “I think it's a shame that the first team had this defeat today. The board will have time to think it through. From now until the tournament ends to choose the coach they decide. He is in your hands.”
The bad news that Rafa Marquez received:
According to Diario Sport, Rafa Marquez's words would have angered the Barcelona board. "The Barcelona board did not take kindly to Rafa Márquez's statements about the chance to replace Xavi," the newspaper reported. This, because he was not so delicate or sensitive with Xavi's situation.
