Txiki Begiristain

[barSELOna]

Even Sandro knows well the transfer politics ,He and Pep will overcome from it
I think Txiki is doing anything on the transfers , Laporta wants somebody and Txiki says I agree or I dont agree
Though Txiki doesnt that guy , Laporta doesnt care him
I dont remember exactly but somebody says that "dog of the laporta" for Txiki,I definitely agree with him

 

[Barcaman]

Probably his last interview: http://www.fcbarcelona.com/web/english/noticies/futbol/temporada09-10/05/20/n100519111110.html

 

[Psychaz]

wonder if this guy just hands people a blank cheque and says put on what you think the guy is worth sometimes

Leaving City at the end of the season. Were some rumors that he was considering running in 2026 if Laporta doesn't.

 

[TheStig]

Come home. Either with Laporta or with his own candidature.

 

[Porque]

Barcelona City has a nice ring to it.

Let's play in Sky Blue, why not?

 

[jamrock]

I'd take him in place of Laporta.

 

[fergus90]

I think Pep will announce he’s leaving too.

 

[DonAK]

I think Pep will announce he’s leaving too.

Just need Erling to hold out for another year then before we swoop in with that Camp Nou money.

 

[TheStig]

Did he give any explanation? Is he retiring or what? I think this could mean that Pep won't extend, everything points to that.

 

[Andresito]

Will be interesting to see if he ends up back at the club. Would think he'd want something more than a Sporting Director role though.

I'm sure he learned a lot from working with Ferran Soriano these years so he could be suitable.

 

[FCBarca]

I’m curious if a return is on the horizon as well

Zubi is reportedly amongst the candidates to replace Txiki. Other names I've seen are Quique Carcel from Girona (makes sense) and Hugo Viana of Sporting.

 

[Porque]

Wild first pages. No one really admired Tixiki during his time here.

And obviously doing the job at City where the first 10 years the club has an infinite license to buy and fail, is a bit different than a proper club.

Good names
