- 4 years ago
Former Real Betis head coach Quique Setien has been unveiled as the new Barcelona coach, after the club sacked Ernesto Valverde on Monday.
The 61-year-old has agreed a contract until June 2022.
Valverde led the club to two successive Spanish La Liga titles and the Copa del Rey during his two-and-a-half years in charge.
Despite Barcelona sitting top of the table alongside fierce rivals Real Madrid, Valverde's side have been poor away from home with defeats to Athletic Bilbao, Granada and Levante plus draws at Osasuna, Real Sociedad and Espanyol.
Last week, they lost in the Spanish Super Cup semi-finals to Atletico Madrid.
