LaLiga Santander took its bill. According to the Spanish sports program ‘Jugones', FC Barcelona has decided to remove Quique Setién from the position of coach next Sunday and appoint Francisco Javier García Pimienta in his place to face the Champions League in August.

After the meeting he held with Setién hours after losing LaLiga, President Bartomeu decided that it is better to stop Santander before ending the season without any title. The idea of the Barça boss is to fire him after the game against Alavés this Sunday in Mendizorroza.

 

The aforementioned source points out that Barcelona will appoint García Pimienta, DT of the subsidiary, as the substitute for Setién to face the Champions League round of 16 match against Napoli. However, another change of coach for the start of the 2020-21 season is not ruled out.

And it is that Josep María Bartomeu is thinking about offering, once again, the position of coach to Xavi Hernández. Although Terrasa's has a contract with Al-Sadd until June 2021, there is a clause that allows him to leave before the end of the link.

As recalled, Xavi Hernández was one of the professionals sought by the sports management to replace Ernesto Valverde.

"I am clear that I want to return to Barcelona, I am very excited. The same years ago he could give me some respect, but now that I've seen myself training I think I can contribute things to the players. But I made it clear to them that I was seeing myself in a project that started from scratch, and in which decision-making was mine, ”he told La Vanguardia in April.
