It’s been made public that Barcelona has officially sacked Quique Setien in the wake of their humiliating 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals.

This decision was taken on Monday morning, August 17,  after suffering one of the biggest defeats of their 120-year history and going trophyless for first time in 12 years

A statement on Barcelona’s official website read: ‘This is the first decision within a wider restructuring of the first team which will be agreed between the current technical secretary and the new coach, who will be announced in the coming days.’

The 61-year-old Spaniard who was only appointed in January before he was fired is expected to be replaced Holland manager, Ronald Koeman.
