L. Messi on G. Martino: I like him because he is a good coach © EuroFootball.com

"Barcelona" star Lionel Messi would not oppose the club's decision to choose Argentine Gerardo Martino, as he is an excellent strategist.

The Catalonia team is without a coach approaching the new season as Tito Vilanova resigned due to a prolonged illness.

In the press, the names of Gerardo Martino and Luis Enrique are particularly shining, but the latter has a valid contract with Vigo "Celta", while G.Martino is currently a free agent.

"I really like Martino. He is a great specialist, and his team played attractive football," said L.Messi.

Let us remind you that the strategist from Argentina coached the "Newell's Old Boys" team last season.
