Ronald Coman himself did this. He was supposed to go to the Euros with the Netherlands, but in this situation he did not delay after receiving a call from Barcelona. Mohe resigned from the national team to become the coach of his former club. That decision has not been good for either Barcelona, the Netherlands or the Commonwealth.
Is something like this going to happen again? Another global tournament is ahead – the World Cup in Qatar a year later. Roberto Martinez is said to be in charge of the Belgian national team in the World Cup with Eden Hazard and Kevin de Bruyne. But in the meantime, there are rumors that Barcelona will bring a new coach by removing Koman. And in that case, Martinez’s name is heard. Will this coach forget about the World Cup and run to Barcelona this time? Hints but something like that!
Martinez’s Fascination
Barcelona is long overdue. He does not have a memorable moment like Koman playing in this club or winning the Champions League. But being born in Catalonia, Martinez’s weakness towards the Catalan club is well known. Now that Koman’s cuts are being discussed, Argentina Riverplate coach Marcelo Giardo, legendary Barcelona midfielder Xavi Hernandez, Andrea Pirlo, who was sacked from Juventus last season, are also being discussed. In the meantime, Gayardo has stated that he does not want to be the coach of Bara.
Martinez, meanwhile, says Barcelona have not yet contacted him about coaching. However, it is not the case that if you communicate, you will be blown away. Despite all the worries about Belgium at the moment, Martinez also said that he will think about it when the opportunity arises for Barcelona.
Martinez told TV network HLN:
“I would love for Belgium to be the first country in Europe to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar. That is the main challenge after the final of the League of Nations. But in football you can never say what gift you will give tomorrow. It will wake me up until the last day of my contract as coach of Belgium. But I also understand that there may be many more possibilities along the way.
Not everyone can be satisfied with such a vague answer. So he was asked directly if Barcelona had contacted him. The negative answer was, ‘Nothing happened at all. There was no communication. ‘Martinez has a contract with Belgium until 2022. He has been involved in international football for five years. Martinez last got a taste of the busyness of club football in 2016. Romelu Lukaku did well at Everton as a coach at the time.
One name behind the rumors of Martinez becoming a coach is Yordi Cruyff. The son of Netherlands and Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff is now Barcelona’s assistant sports director. The recruitment of players and coaches is under his control. Martinez has a good relationship with Cruyff. But the Belgian coach does not want to take advantage of such a relationship, saying, “The basis of my relationship with Yordi is that we keep our professional and personal lives separate. I never asked him about my prospects in Barcelona. I don’t think he will be responsible for appointing a new coach.
