Barça only has García Pimienta in mind as Setien's replacement

Josep Maria Bartomeu and his Managerial Board had to take a very engaged decision on the future of Quique Setién after the failure of the team in this League. The trainer santanderino remained very touched after falling against Osasuna in the Camp Nou the past day and his place hanged of a thread. In the club posed cease to the Cantabrian, but finally opted for giving him a vote of confidence​ until the Champions League that will play in August.

But this opinion could change anytime and therefore, in front of the doubt, in the Barça thought quickly in who would relieve to the ex of the Real Betis in the bench. Although they have spoken of several trainers, as for example Laurent Blanc, as 'Sportive World' in the alone club have thought in an only name. Javier García Pepper would be the only alternative to the míster of Santander if sometime it was necessary to do without he.

The míster of the Barcelona B is a man of the house, knows the style that so much likes to the barcelonismo and would serve like technical bridge of face to the elections of 2021. In fact, the Barça already saw that Pepper could finish being the best solution of emergency and when it renewed him put a clause in which it spoke of his possible promotion to the first team. This would facilitate a lot that it went up without any problem in case of need.

For the moment, in the club want to give him time to Setién so that it recover his 'feeling' with the changing room. Right now, the heavy weights of the group barcelonista are not with the ex of The Palms and think that is not the indicated to direct to the team in the League of Champions. Nevertheless, the Cantabrian sees with strengths to change the situation and Bartomeu thinks that the week of rest that there is when it finish LaLiga could come well so that they calm the waters.

In the club want to hold the maximum possible with Quique, since they consider that the ideal is that it keep like minimum until it finish the Champions. If to the Barça does not go him well in Europe, is much more likely that the santanderino was ceased then. The president noticed in the meeting that was supported by he this Friday that could sucumbir to the pressure and if it does not see it with strengths, could sack him in August and go up to Pepper until 2021.
