Quique Setién is sentenced. The president of FC Barcelona, Josep Maria Bartomeu, This was confirmed to a journalist from the COPE Network, Víctor Navarro, upon his departure from the meeting held this past Sunday with Ramon Planes and Éric Abidal at the FC Barcelona offices to begin to discuss possible solutions to the team’s sporting crisis.
“He’s out”, would have been the forceful response of ‘Barto’ to the journalist of the program ‘El Partidazo de Cope’ of Cadena Cope, thus confirming that FC Barcelona will execute its first move with a change on the bench, possibly to bring in Ronald Koeman as relief. The current coach of the Dutch team is the main candidate to coach Barça, with Garcia Pepper in the bedroom, since Pochettino generates rejection among the culé fans.

The 2-8 with which FC Barcelona fell humiliated in the Champions League Against Bayern Munich it was the finishing touch for a Quique Setién who was already very questioned at the game, and who after the defeat against the Bavarians was left without any possibility of continuing to exercise the position for which you have a contract until 2021, with the option of one more season.
The Cantabrian will be terminated, his contract terminated, and A coach will arrive with the capacity to recover the ‘Barça DNA’ And who, sure, will not tremble when it comes to revolutionizing the lineups and making key decisions, something he has already done on the benches where he has previously trained. Koeman also builds consensus between fans and club members as it is a historical figure of Barcelona.
Koeman, a bridge technician or something else?
Theoretically, he would arrive as a bridge coach until Xavi Hernández assumes the position, perhaps with the change of leadership from 2021. If things go well for Barça with Koeman this next season, however, it is not ruled out that the Dutchman could be ratified and continue more campaigns in the position. As always, everything will depend on the results …
What is clear is that Quique Setién will no longer continue to be Barça’s coach. In his seven months in office, he has failed to meet any of his objectives and, furthermore, he has failed in the three competitions in which Barça was still alive in January (he arrived with Barça leading in LaLiga and has ended up losing it, and has been eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey and the Champions League). Things have not turned out as he expected.
