Speculations about Luis Enrique's future have ended - the strategist officially confirmed that he will leave the coaching reins of "Barcelona" after this season, so the Catalans will have to look for a new specialist.
Candidates to take over L. Enrique's coaching chair include strategists such as Arsene Wenger, Jurgen Klopp, Jorge Sampaoli, and others. However, the Spanish press reports that the "Barcelona" leaders have already chosen their candidate.
It is Ernesto Valverde, the strategist of Bilbao "Athletic", who has been leading the Basques since 2013. In the past, the Spaniard, who has played in the forward position, has worn the colors of the "Barcelona" club.
The Spanish radio "COPE" indicates that Lionel Messi does not support E. Valverde's candidacy, as according to the mentioned source, he does not like this strategist.
Despite L. Messi's opinion, E. Valverde is perhaps the ideal candidate to take over the Barcelona coaching reins, as his football philosophy is most acceptable to "Barca".
