BARCELONA: Barcelona are on the verge of sacking coach Ernesto Valverde and appoint former Real Betis coach Quique Setien as his replacement, Spanish media reported on Monday.
Valverde took charge of training earlier in the day and met with president Josep Maria Bartomeu before a board meeting, in which it was agreed that the coach would be sacked even though the Catalans top the league standings at the halfway point of the campaign. A 2-2 draw with bottom-of-the-table Espanyol and last week's Spanish Super Cup defeat by Atletico Madrid turned the tide against the coach.Diario Sport and Marca reported Setien has agreed a contract to take over at Barcelona.
