The FC Barcelona carries a lot of years in the research of a trainer that 'accommodate' to the style of the club and that it can achieve the results and the image expected. Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique have been the big referents of the last 15 years in the Barcelona bench and from the Camp Nou have looked for somebody that can repeat what they two attained in Can Barça. It has been impossible and, in this process, have left an alarming quantity of money.
It is not a secret for anybody that there is not traspasos free and, in a lot of occasions, neither gone out without compensation. It is the concrete case of the trainers that have paraded by the bench of the Barça, to which has sacked of unilateral way and, therefore, the Catalan entity has to pay them. It was Luis Enrique the last that fulfilled his agreement with the Barcelona and, since, have happened three technicians by the team, waiting for Xavi Hernández, the one who would be the chamber in four years.
Ernesto Valverde, Quique Setién and Ronald Koeman have tried to occupy the charge without hardly successes, with the exception of a Valverde that gave, of some way, some continuity to the team in Spain, but that in Europe lived humiliation after humiliation. With the traced back in Anfield, a year after the Rome, all thought that Josep María Bartomeu went him to cease of his activities, but did not go until January of 2020, after the elimination of the Supercopa of Europe, when him destituyó.
The dismissal of Ernesto Valverde suppose to the Barça 11 million euros, that as you report them the club still has not paid to the of Viandar of the Edge. His spare was Quique Setién that lasted less than a sneeze and whose go through the Camp Nou was a true tragedy. To his control, the Barça 'gave' the League to the Real Madrid of Zidane and lived his worst historical humiliation: the 2-8 in front of the Bayern of Munich in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Shortly after, it was ceased of his charge and the club engaged to pay 4 million euros.
That mount still has not paid and already goes more than a year since it produced his dismissal. The Cantabrian has demanded judicial road the payment of his clear and, in fact, at the beginning of this 2021 commented that "the Barça still has not paid me, are expecting". To the situation of Setién, will join him his replacement, Ronald Koeman, the one who arrived to the Camp Nou in 2020 with the label of legend and left a year and months afterwards by the rear door.
The Barça spends 30 millions in trainers
Far to improve and put him all the 'patches' to the Barcelona picture, with Koeman the Barça became a team without foot neither head, further of the positive series of January at the beginning of April. The Catalan picture turned into a predictable team, without ideas and that suffered horrors to win to the 'big'. In fact, the Barça lost almost all his parties against the important rivals, carrying several humiliations. The ones of the PSG (1-4), Bayern (0-3) and Benfica (3-0), remembering all the fusses in LaLiga, are the more resaltantes.
The true is quand from the Camp Nou have to pay him 12 million euros of clear and already has warned that it will not forgive a euro. Joan Laporta had tried to dribble him offering him 7,5 kilos in two payments, but has planted the one of Zaandam. With the of Koeman, are more than 27 alone millions in payment of compensations.
To this, in any case, it would be necessary to add him lto clause of 5 million euros of Xavi Hernández to which grasps the To the-Sadd. From the Barça do not want to pay it, but is the only road of leakage for the one of Terrassa. The negotiations continue with the sheik Mohammed bin Hamad bin Khalifa, but still remain some 'fringes' for resolving before the technician land in the City Condal.
