The Mexican at present manages Barca Atletic however was requested about altering jobs after his workforce’s 2-1 win over Fuenlabrada on Saturday evening.
“It is a shame that the first team has had this defeat. I think the board will have time to think about it well, between now and the end of the season, to choose the coach they decide, it is in their hands,” he mentioned.
“I will continue preparing, obviously, I am very happy with the work I am doing with the boys.”
Marquez was then requested if he wish to be Barca boss and positively wasn’t coy along with his response.
“Who wouldn’t, right? But the most important thing is to continue preparing because it is my second season as a coach here. Prepare in case that moment comes,” he added.
“You can’t say no to an opportunity like this. And if it comes, I will try to be available and try to do my best.”
