Valverde Sacked By Barcelona, Replaces Him With Quique Sentien
The Liga leaders, Barcelona, have parted way with the 55-year-old Valverde. He has also been replaced by the former Real Betis boss.
Barcelona announced the dismissal of head coach Valverde, with Quique Setien taking charge of the Spanish champions on that deal that runs until 2022.
Barcalona made the decision to extend Valverde’s deal for an additional season in February of last year, which preceded an embarrassing Champions League loss to Liverpool a few months later, after doing the same against Roma in the previous campaign.
And while the 55-year-old has delivered two consecutive Primera Division titles and Blaugrana is currently at the top of La Liga – albeit on goal difference – European disappointment is not the only black mark next to the name of Valverde.
