The coach was asked again about what he would be doing at the end of the season

Unlike Mauricio Pochettino, as a former Espanyol coach, he didn't rule out bossing Barcelona

Ernesto Valverde’s press conferences are turning into a siege situation. He is being repeatedly asked about his future and the coach is trying to escape however he can. In the pre-match chat before Athletic Bilbao face Espanyol, Valverde said: “First I will talk to the president to tell him it, then I will speak before the media.” And asked if he would be ending his time at Athletic, he replied with a smile: “It’s possible, you never know.” 

Asked about Mauricio Pochettino’s comments about never coaching Barcelona because he is an Espanyol fan, Valverde gave Barcelona a little wink. He was a former Espanyol player and coach himself, but said: “I have no comment about that.”
