Calendar of FC Barcelona

The involution of the FC Barcelona is not related only with the quality of the staff and the stars in the same, goes a lot further. The club crosses his worst financial crisis and are many the open fronts in the offices of the Camp Nou, but the one who more generates worry and has carried the attention is the situation of the trainer of the first team, Ronald Koeman, the one who can be destituido próximamente.

The one of Zaandam is very discussed and in the Barça have 'tired' of the performance, very poor, of the team in this beginning of season, especially after the three 'pricks' consecutive: in front of the Bayern, Granada and Cádiz. To this, it is necessary to add all 'darts' and recados that has left Koeman, the one who has left clear that the fans can not expect big things in this course, because there is not staff for this.

All his statements and faults of answers in the field have left it in the eye of the hurricane and the Barça wants to sack it. Only it is missing the 'when' and 'by who', something in what they are working the directors. However, there is something that it is necessary to highlight in this situation: Koeman would be the second trainer in less than two years that is destituido to half (or less) of season, remembering that Ernesto Valverde was destituido in January of 2020.

In that moment, the Barça finish to lose in front of the Athletic in the 'final four' of the Supercopa of Spain and the managerial board of Josep María Bartomeu, that the 'forgave' after the ridiculous in front of the Rome and Liverpool, decided to cease his services and hired to Quique Setién, that left at the end of this season, after the fateful 2-8 in front of the Bayern of Munich in Lisbon.

It did not happen from 20 years ago

The true is that it is something that did not happen from does more than two decades, from 2003, when Louis go Gaal was sacked by the worrisome numbers of the team. His dismissal produced after the Barça lost in front of the Celtic of Vigo, a result that left to the culés in the decimosegunda position of LaLaLiga. Joan Gaspart was the president in that moment and now Joan Laporta will follow his steps and the ones of Josep María Bartomeu. They have been, in total, seven trainers, explaining to the above-mentioned: Víctor Muñoz, Juande Ramos, Ramón Moya, Fernando Vázquez and Manolo Esteemed were sacked of his charge like technical directors of the Barcelona picture.

This yes, is a data that desvela that the Barça has had good 'health' with the trainers and these have finish going to the term of the season. From they Go Gaal have gone through the Barcelona bench Radomir Antic, Frank Rijkaard, Pep Guardiola, Tito Vilanova, Tata Martino, Luis Enrique, Ernesto Valverde, Quique Setién and Ronald Koeman. Only Valverde (and probably Koeman) has been destituido before the end of a season.
