Barcelona Sacks Head Coach, Quique Setien

Posted by E.L.E.X on August 17 2020 under Sports









Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu has confirmed the sacking of head coach Quique Setien following the club’s humiliation in the Champions League to Bayern Munich.

The German giants thrashed Barcelona 8-2 in the quarter-finals, who finish the season without winning any major trophies.

With Lionel Messi reportedly threatening to quit the club, Spanish outlet COPE claim Setien has been axed following a meeting of the Barcelona board.

Club president Bartomeu met with director of football Eric Abidal and fellow chief Ramon Planes late on Sunday night and confirmed to reporters afterwards Setien was β€˜out’. An official announcement is expected on Monday, with Barcelona scheduling a press conference in the afternoon.

Setien was only appointed in January to replace Ernesto Valverde, but fared little better than his sacked predecessor as Real Madrid beat Barcelona to the La Liga title.

Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman, former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino and Barcelona legend Xavi are all in the frame to replace Setien.

Former Everton boss Koeman is thought to be the frontrunner as a former Barcelona player and a manager with plenty of experience.
