Although securing the La Liga title, following elimination in the UEFA Champions League and the loss to Valencia in the Copa del Rey final, current manager Ernesto Valverde seems closer and closer to being sacked by Barcelona. Among the candidates for his succession, as reported earlier today, is Roberto Martinez - the current coach of the Belgium national team. This afternoon, he briefly commented on his position with Het Laatste Nieuws. "I can't say yes to the Blaugrana without first talking to Bart Verhaeghe and Mehdi Bayat, the leaders of the Royal Belgian Football Federation." We will therefore have to wait for his possible departure from the national team before he changes his adventure to Spain.
