Márquez has had a good debut season and has helped the progression of young players such as Estanis Pedrola, Aleix Garrido and Marc Casadó, who have emerged as leaders on the pitch despite their youth.
The balance of the campaign is 17 wins, 13 draws and 10 defeats in an exciting season that ended with a bitter taste after the defeat and subsequent elimination against Castilla in the playoffs.
Despite this ending, the coach's work is unquestionable and there is complete confidence at Can Barça.
