Rafa Márquez reveals why he left TUDN's 150 thousand dollars and preferred to earn less at Barcelona

Rafa Márquez is already enjoying his first weeks as the new coach of Barca Athletic, FC Barcelona's subsidiary. The Mexican preferred to take the risk of rejecting an important salary offer at TUDN, where he would receive up to 150 thousand dollars for his work as a sports analyst for the Mexican National Team.

The offer from the Culé team for the Mexican to join the club's youth team was the option that "El Kaiser" ended up opting for. In economic terms, there is no comparison, but it was one of the objectives in his career as a coach for the former Mexican footballer.

The former Barcelona center-back, in an interview for the Culé club, explained that he had a more than important motivation. Rafa Márquez did not see himself as an analyst but as pursuing his goals as a technical director. Being the club where he triumphed in Europe, his first major destination in his young managerial career.

What is the salary Rafa Marquez would earn at Barcelona?

According to Mundo Deportivo's report, a coach in this category could receive a salary of 2 thousand euros. A far amount from what the TUDN network offered him as a sports analyst.
