Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona works in a deep reform of the staff for the summer 2020, and for the moment will park the changes in the bench. The Catalans already did to jump the surprise in the past month of January, when they sacked of Ernesto Valverde and announced the incorporation of Quique Setién. After completing the season if the coronavirus allows it, everything aims to that the Cantabrian will follow to the controls in the 2020-21.

In spite of the confidence that exists in the ex of the Real Betis, to the one who will judge in more detail when it start a project with more calm -and a pre-season in conditions-, the Barcelona have several alternatives in his diary, and everything aims to that they will have to line another. There are some trainers that expect his moment to arrive to the Camp Nou, but the obligations are priority and go them to keep in wait.

The renewal of Roberto Martínez with the selection of Belgium is encarrilada, and soon could close an agreement until 2022. The current links that joins them expires the next 30 June, by what does a time that started the negotiations. This, in spite of the interest of the club and to some informal score, would close the door of the balagariense at least until it completed his tasks, until just after the World-wide of Qatar.

In addition to rewarding him with an increase of wage, the Federation has recalcado the enormous satisfaction that exists with his work and has put him on the table an ambitious project. The technician no only will direct to the combined national, but it also will have an important weight in the structure futbolística of the country and will commission of diverse plans of general organisation, renewal of infrastructures and development of quarries.

A near source to the 'network devils' warns that, in spite of the news published in the Belgian press, the pact still is not sealed, but also recognises that yes it is near. There is good tuning between both parts and the results also back his work, because the team obtained the third place in the World-wide past of Russia (2018), only by behind France, that finish conquering the tournament, and Croatia.

They will bring the elections another trainer for the Barça?

The renewal of 'Bob' Martínez could move away to another trainer of the Barça, that is very pending of the elections of 2021. In them, some candidates could arrive with a technician under the arm, although the favourites also have said that in these moments are occupied. Names like the ones of Xavi Hernández and Ronald Koeman valued recently but his commitments with the To the-Sadd and the absolute selection of Holland braked his return to the City Condal.
