Barcelona announced the dismissal of coach barwade and the appointment of former Betis coach setian to sign for two and a half years.
Barwade's contract with Barcelona will expire in less than five months. It's a bit strange for the Nou Camp executives to dismiss barwade at this time. After all, this is the first temporary change of coach in Barcelona's season in 16 years. However, in view of the lack of characteristics of barwade's team playing method, the stop of the Western Super Cup semi-final is only a fuse. The deeper reason is that Barcelona executives may not have confidence in barwade's breakthrough in the Champions League.
Two days ago, it was rumored that Barcelona began to contact Harvey. Yesterday, Koman and even bocetino were linked with Barcelona, but the Nou Camp executives finally chose 61 year old former Betis coach setian.
Setien is a manager who advocates Cruyff style football. He has been idle at home since he was fired by Betis last May. The standard of Barcelona's coach selection also continues to be independent. The high-level coach selection of Camp Nou never looks at fame, mainly depends on whether the coach's concept is highly consistent with Barcelona's style of play. Even if Guardiola and Enrique were famous in the player era, they were basically new in the workplace when they took over the coach of Barcelona. At present, Barcelona ranks first in La Liga with goal difference advantage, and there are still opportunities in the king's cup and the Champions League.
Although Valverde was tucking away for many years, the Spanish champions had never been sidelined since the summer of 2017. However, the Spaniards have been make complaints about the tournament, and 3-0 of the Champions League 1/4 finals have been overturned in two consecutive seasons. After being dramatically reversed by Liverpool last season, Barcelona's dressing room seems to have been shrouded in a pessimistic atmosphere. Barcelona has lost 6 of the 30 competitions, while Barcelona has lost only 10 of the 115 games in the previous two seasons.
