He knows we firmly believe that he is the best coach for Barcelona, and we are very pleased with him.” The president added that Hernandez’s understanding of the club, his exceptional character, and his respect for the institution make him an invaluable asset. Laporta also emphasized that when the time is right, discussions about Hernandez’s future will take place.
The comments from Laporta signify the club’s commitment to Hernandez’s leadership and their confidence in his ability to guide Barcelona to further success. Furthermore, the president’s mention of Hernandez’s positive interpersonal skills and his commitment to supporting his colleagues further highlight the invaluable qualities the manager brings to the team.
