The current head coach of the US national team, Mauricio Pochettino, did not spare criticism for the "Barcelona" team and commented on the possibility of working with the "Real" team:

"With my tactical style, I could coach "Barca"... But I will never do that."

Even if this team were to offer me a position... I will never coach them. In my opinion, "Espanyol" is a much freer and far more Catalan club than "Barcelona."

"Coaching the "Real" team? It is never too late if the joy is worth it."

53-year-old Mauricio Pochettino played for the "Espanyol" club from 2004 to 2006.

The Argentine also coached this team from 2009 to 2012.
