The debacle that Barça experienced in Da Luz against Bayern Munich has been the end point for Quique Setién who was already very affected by the poor performance that the team showed in the final stretch of the League. The Cantabrian coach, who signed a contract for two and a half years last January, always subject to the outcome of the elections that, in principle, were to be held next year, is already rushing his last moments at the head of the Barcelona team . At the moment, the option that is sounding more strongly in the Barça environment is that of Mauricio Pochettino .
The dismissal of Setién could be precipitated in the next few hours, despite the fact that the president of Barça, Josep Maria Bartomeu , assured in statements to Movistar Champions League as soon as the disaster against Bayern was consummated that the different decisions to be taken would materialize starting Monday, when a board of directors is held that has not yet been convened.
The disappointment with the Cantabrian coach in the Barcelona environment is very palpable. He came to the club as a hasty replacement from Ernesto Valverde in theory to give the team a more offensive air, closer to the style that they like so much at the Camp Nou and, in the end, he has closed a season without titles practicing a desperately cautious game.
The option of Mauricio Pochettino , who already jumped to the fore precisely last January as a possible replacement for Valverde, would be Bartomeu's favorite to revolutionize the team from top to bottom. The Argentine, who in the past showed a marked anti-Barcelonaism, although he has tried to qualify it in recent weeks, and who came very close to becoming a Real Madrid coach, has been without a team since Tottenham decided to do without his services in mid-November of last year.
