The step of Quique Setién by the FC Barcelona has not been at all simple. In January, without time to prepare his disembarkment in the Camp Nou, landed in the Barcelona bench in an arrived fruit of the improvisation and the precipitation. It found headed by a club of maximum requirement, in which all what was not to win playing well no voucher, with a full staff of egos and without two of his key pieces by injury: Luis Suárez and Ousmane Dembélé.
His arrival ilusionó to the barcelonismo, but soon arrived the disappointments: the FC Barcelona no only did not improve his game, but it worsened his results. After the confinement, everything worsened: the players put in doubt the methods of Quique Setién, opened a conflict between the technicians and the staff and, with a mediocre game, the team culé delivered LaLiga Santander to the Real Madrid and closed the season with a ridiculous estratosférico against the Bayern Munich in Champions League.
Of course, no all the fault has been of Quique Setién, but in the current circumstances remained clear that the santanderino could not direct to the FC Barcelona neither an alone party more. This same week will be ceased and relieved by a trainer whose identity still is unknown but the incógnita will not take too much in desvelarse, since the new season begins in less than a month and have to plan the details of the staff.
In a principle, Mauritius Pochettino posited like the favourite to take the reins of the bench of the FC Barcelona. Nevertheless, his style of game and his statements in the past, in which it attacked firmly the values of the Barcelona club, have not generated consensus in the Catalan club. It is thus that the Argentinian no longer is the favourite to relieve to Quique Setién and, according to several sectors of the press, now is Ronald Koeman the one who sounds with more strength.
It is necessary to remember that the hero of Wembley is the current technician of the national selection of Holland, to which had foreseen to direct in the Eurocopa that had to play this 2020 but that finally will play in 2021. Nevertheless, in his agreement there is a clause that would rid him to direct to the combined Dutch in case that the FC Barcelona presented him a firm proposal, as like this it seems that sucederá.
Josep Maria Bartomeu already would be negotiating with Ronald Koeman
In spite of that the dream of Ronald Koeman is to train to the FC Barcelona, also has an enormous illusion for heading to the Dutch selection in the Eurocopa, by what will not accept a proposal of half inks to occupy the bench of the Camp Nou: if it accepts to direct to the group culé, has to be with a sportive project solid and with future. According to the informations published by the newspaper Sport, the president Josep Maria Bartomeu already would be negotiating with him, although it is not the only candidate that contemplates.
