Meanwhile, Huesca are in talks with Pepe Mel and José Luis Oltra

Joan Francesc Ferrer, better known as Rubi, has been chosen by Óscar Perarnau as the man to take over at Espanyol next season. 

The appointment of the Catalan coach, who knows Espanyol's sporting director from his time at the club previously, will be confirmed in the coming days, once Huesca confirm his departure after their historic promotion to La Liga. 

Rubi has not yet wanted to confirm his return to the city of Barcelona. "I have to speak with Peton," he told Catalunya Radio. The coach was referring to the man who is not just key behind the seasons at Huesca but is also his agent: José Antonio Martín Otín, better known as Peton. 

"We're going to make a decision on my future soon," Rubi added. 

Despite his comments, Rubi's move to Espanyol is done. Huesca are already in contact with Pepe Mel and José Luis Oltra to replace him on the bench next season. 

Rubi will not move alone, either. His assistant Jaume Torras, fitness coach Xabi Gil and analyst Manel Rodríguez will also move with him.
