Josep Maria Bartomeu announces the departure of Quique Setién

Since the heavy defeat against Bayern Munich (2-8) and elimination in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, FC Barcelona has been going through a zone of turbulence. After the statements of Gerard Piqué at the final whistle on the change in the workforce, the future of Quique Setién quickly arrived on the table and since Friday evening, the Spanish media have only been talking about that, with the future by Lionel Messi.

Since this historic slap on the European scene, many names have already appeared in the press (Mauricio Pochettino, Xavi Hernandez, Thierry Henry) for the replacement of the Spanish coach, and Ronald Koeman would be in pole position in recent hours. But officially, the 61-year-old technician has not yet been fired by the Blaugranas. But it should happen very quickly …

According to information from the Cadena COPE, Quique Setién would have been sacked this Sunday evening after a meeting with Josep Maria Bartomeu, the president, the technical secretary Eric Abidal and the assistant of the Frenchman, Ramon Planes. It is the president himself who would have explained it to the Spanish media: “Setién has been removed (from his duties), that’s it.” The FC Barcelona press release should therefore not delay any longer, while this Monday will be very important for the residents of Camp Nou with a big crisis meeting.
