Barcelona President Claims the Club would be Trained by Quique Setien Next Season

DBasia.news – Quique Setien position is safe. Barcelona President, Josep Maria Bartomeu believes that he would ​​he still train the Blaugrana next season.

According to the RAC1, as reported by Sport on Tuesday (7/7) local time, Bartomeu’s statement came at a time when the 61-year-old coach’s position is doubted to continue at Camp Nou.

The reason, the Catalan team has recently played inconsistently, he even gave an edge to their fierce rivals, Real Madrid, in the title race this season. “Quique will remain here,” said Bartomeu.

“I am quite pleased with the evolution that we have shown in this season’s competition, despite the many draws. The last match has shown, the team is in a better atmosphere, and I hope it will stay that way. “If we don’t win the league title this season, we still have the Champions League,” he added.

“I do not regret having replaced (Ernesto) Valverde. The team and locker room need different enthusiasm and encouragement. Setien is a strong driver of Barcelona’s game, and he has the DNA to match this club. He has brought a breath of fresh air and new ideas, he has also worked diligently, “added Bartomeu.

As reported previously, Setien has lost the support of his players and the Blaugrana would dismiss the former Real Betis coach at the end of the season.

When Barca first appointed Setien as their new coach, the club was very hopeful he would restore the Blaugrana tiki-taka style of play, which was lost under Valverde’s leadership.

However, that hope quickly vanished into thin air, the improvement that was seen in Barca’s squad in the second half of the season. That is why, Setien’s future at Camp Nou is threatened to end soon.

In addition, Setien’s relationship with the Barcelona players can also be said to be quite tense. This also resulted in the coach and his staff not getting the support of the Blaugrana players.

The poor performance of Lionel Messi and his colleagues in the last few away games this season, was also said to have influenced the poor relationship between Setien and his team, with the players.
