Barcelona is leading the series but the results have recently varied. In the last four league matches, the team has just one victory and in addition they lost the semi-final in the Super Cup with Atletico Madrid last week, which became Ernesto Valverde's last appearance as coach of Barcelona.

In total, there were 2.5 seasons in the club where he took Barcelona to two straight league victories.

Quique Setién, 61, will be the one to replace and comes closest from a coach job in Real Betis. This will be the first time Setién is training a major club and the contract is signed until 2022.
