Quique Setien

Spanish giants, Barcelona have sacked Ernesto Valverde and appointed Quique Setien as their new coach.

The 55-year-old was dismissed following the clubs Spanish Super Cup semi-final 3-2 defeat toAtletico Madrid few days ago.

In 2018, Barcelona lost on away goals to Roma, despite winning first leg 4-1, and had a 3-0 first leg advantage overturned by Liverpool in an epic comeback by the European Champions a year later.

His successor, Setien, who has been out of work since leaving Real Betis last June has signed a contract until June 2022 as Barcelona part ways with Valverde after a two-and-a-half-year spell.

A brief Barcelona statement read: "Agreement between FC Barcelona and Ernesto Valverde to end his contract as manager of the first team. Thank you for everything, Ernesto. Best of luck in the future."
