According to “Mundo Deportivo” newspaper, Rafa Marquez may leave his position as coach of Barcelona B after receiving a tempting offer from his homeland Mexico.
Marquez had an outstanding performance with Barcelona B last season, to the point that he was a strong candidate to succeed Xavi Hernandez in leading the Blaugrana.
Jaime Lozano resigned from coaching the Mexican national team after failing to qualify for the group stage of the 2024 Copa America.
According to the latest report, the Mexican national team wants to contract Javier Aguirre as coach until the 2026 World Cup, with Marquez assisting him.
As soon as the World Cup, which is scheduled to take place in North America, ends, Marquez will take over as coach of the Mexican national team until the 2030 World Cup.
Initially, the offer seems very appealing to Marquez, and the biggest loser will be Barcelona after the revolution that the Mexican has brought about in the Catalan club’s reserve team.
It is worth noting that Marquez has previously expressed his desire to coach Barcelona’s first team, and it is said that he is unhappy with the choice of Hansi Flick over him.
