The name is well known in Colombia but now has a global reach, largely thanks to the showcase of Pep Guardiola and Manchester City.
This is Juan Manuel Lillo, the Spaniard who led Millonarios and Atlético Nacional, without many results to show but always achieve the unconditional support of the players, who consider him a teacher.
Guardiola, the most successful coach in the world, has him in that same rank, who took him to City as his assistant and now he would be about to lose him due to a tempting offer that they would be making from Qatar, specifically the champion Al-Sadd.
The idea is to keep the Spanish school there that was already crowned by Xavi Gracia, who was proclaimed Qatari champion last season, and Xavi, whose previous step at the direction of FC Barcelona was precisely the successful Qatari club. If it is for money there is no problem. But in a squad strengthened by Haaland, Lillo could consider that it is time to win everything in the first world of football, which is England, even if he is a step behind Guardiola.
From Spain it is said that the challenge is more than seductive and that for the club Lillo’s profile is ideal, since the idea is to work very directly with the U23 players, since the stars will be focused on the World Cup in November, precisely in Qatar .
