The possible signing of Pochettino makes the parakeet follower uncomfortable

Still without signings beyond that of Vicente Moreno as coach, Espanyol is waiting for events and, meanwhile, news such as the possible hiring of Mauricio Pochettino as Barcelona coach are lighting the spirits of the fans. After 2-8 against Bayern, and the departure of Quique Setién was taken for granted, the Pochettino option is gaining momentum and on social networks, parrots were not talking about anything else.

Pochettino is a symbol in Espanyol. He is the fourth player in history with the most games (275) and the foreigner who has participated the most, beating Tommy N'Kono himself. He experienced the successes of the Copa del Rey in 2000, at the peak of his career, and in 2006, already in the twilight. It was also the club that gave him the opportunity to train among the elite. He started as Emilio Montiagut's assistant in the Women's Championship and in January 2009 he took over the first team. He followed another three and a half years, saved the team and created a project that, although it failed to break into Europe, was stable. In total, he led the team in 146 games in First Division, the fifth longest-serving coach.

During this time in which he has permeated in England training, he always made clear his winks to Espanyol, the club of his life. But recently, in an interview in El País, he corrected his phrase that before he would go to a farm that would train Barcelona. In the 2008-09 campaign, in addition, with the Spanish-Argentine coach, the Parakeet team beat Guardiola's Barça at the Camp Nou, by 1-2, in the last Parade feat at the Barça stadium.

In social networks there were opinions of all colors. From fans who asked to remove the door that they have in the stadium, to others who consider it a victory for Espanyol that Barcelona sign a parakeet as a coach. Most of them would approve the step that Pochettino would take, taking into account that he had previously declared no. A situation that, yes, would not bring a Espanyol-Barcelona duel since the parakeet team descended.
