Luis Enrique’s choice of words for me were “ugly”, admits Robert Moreno

On the return of former Barcelona manager, Moreno expressed his desire to lead the team till Euro 2020 and then return to the role of the assistant coach but it didn’t go down too well with Enrique who thought Moreno to be disloyal. This led to the former Barcelona manager announcing that his former number two would not be a part of his coaching staff anymore.

“I don't know why Luis Enrique doesn't want me to be with him today. I think he labelled me with words that are ugly and are not attributable to me. In the first meeting with Luis Enrique, he told me that I had done what I had to do and that he felt proud of me. Then I asked him for a meeting to give him a hug and convey my support. It seemed appropriate to tell him that, just as I had said before, I would step aside if he decided to return. He said that seemed perfect but he told me that he no longer wanted me. I was in a state of shock. I let the staff know and I wondered what I had done wrong,” said Moreno to the BBC.
