Coach Quique Setien Has Been Sacked After Bayern Humiliation , Barcelona Confirms

 

Quique Setien, Barcelona coach has been sacked following the club's humiliating 8-2 loss to Bayern Munich last week, according to reports.

Club president Josep Bartomeu spoke with Spanish outlet Cadena COPE on Sunday night following a meeting with the Barca board , including Eric Abidal , according to reports.

"He is out," Bartomeu is believed to have said when asked about Setien's position.

Barcelona are yet to make an official announcement with reports saying an official announcement will be made yesterday, Monday August 17 during a press conference.

Setien only replaced Ernesto Valverde in January but his failure to win LaLiga and the 8-2 Bayern Munich humiliation only quickened his sack following a public fall out with Lionel Messi this season.

The 8-2 demolition of Barca by Bayern in the champions league quarter-final was one of the most embarrassing in the proud Catalan club's 121- year history.
