Barcelona have announced on Monday that Quique Setien has been sacked after a trophy-less campaign that culminated in European humiliation.
The club announced the decision on Monday, just days after the club were embarrassed in the Champions League quarter-finals in a record-breaking loss to Bayern Munich.
Having already been beaten to the Liga title by arch-rivals Real Madrid, Barcelona were annihilated 8-2 by Bayern Munich in their elimination from Europe’s premier club competition.
Setien is the second Barcelona boss to be dismissed this year, with the former Real Betis boss having only joined the club in January.
It was at that time that he replaced Ernesto Valverde, who was sacked following a loss to Atletico Madrid in the Supercopa de Espana despite sitting top of La Liga at the time.
Barca ended the season second after a poor run of form following the league restarting after its coronavirus-enforced suspension. Setien amassed 16 wins, four draws and five defeats during his time with the club.
