This Sunday will direct the one who can be his last duel in Saint Mamés like venue and will treat to leave to his in places of Europe League of face to the next course. With all this, the technician has given time and as they aim different means of the City Condal, will expect to the Barça.

It does not know for sure if the Barcelona will go to by him or no, as from the technical office culé has not done any definite step to any trainer, but Valverde thinks that is the best moment to give the jump. Thus, it will not have haste in choosing bench and will give to the Barcelona the possibility to offer him his bench.

Robert Fernández already warned that no oficilizará at all until happened the final of the Glass of the King that confronts them to the Sportive Alavés. Something logical, as they are at stake two important titles and does not want to descentrar to the pupilos of Luis Enrique Martínez. Nevertheless, this yes, the serious contacts could close once finish the domestic competition in little more than a week. That is the same time that would have taken Valverde to be still thinking only in the lions. The Premier and the Seville, among others, could be expecting him but he does not have haste

Ernesto Valverde, an old longing

Ernesto Valverde already sounded in more than an occasion to occupy the bench of the Barça when Andoni Zubizarreta was the sportive director, although the Basque technician preferred to remain in the Athletic. The aspirations to try win the UEFA Europe League or some another title with the "lions" prevailed in this moment.

• His pros:

In the present campaign 2016-17, has surpassed to Javier Clemente like the trainer rojiblanco with more parties in the Athletic. It knows to perfection the FC Barcelona, where save him a big respect and consider him one of the best technicians of LaLiga Santander. In this sense, is not descabellado that the group culé give him the reins of the team since it marries with the philosophy of offensive game and appeal of the club.

• His contras:

It does not finish of calar inside the changing room and could finish like the "Tata" Martino, consumed by the staff to the not knowing impose to this. Seen the last technicians that has directed to the group blaugrana, seems that the "shots" go more by a man with a strong personality more than by a míster calm and pautado. Although all can change and the last informations that move away to Unzué of the charge could catapult him to him.
