“Marcelo Gallardo would fit at Barcelona” - ex-Barcelona and River Plate player

A former Barcelona and River Plate player has spoken out about the rumors linking current River Plate boss Marcelo Gallardo to the Barça job.

Juan Carlos Heredia, also known as Milonguita, was a player for Barcelona in the 70s and River Plate in the 80s, among other teams.

“I believe that Gallardo would fit at Barcelona, so long as he does not want to do what Tata Martino did. Because I was there when Martino was in charge of Barcelona, and the football that Barcelona plays is the one we played alongside Johan Cruyff,” Heredia told Argentine outlet Súper Deportivo.
