Barcelona will name new Coach on May 29th
“We will officially announce the name of our new Coach on May 29th,” Josep Maria Bartomeu recently let it be known.
With Luis Enrique recently announcing that he would be leaving Barcelona after they lost 4-0 to PSG in the Champions League, the Catalans have been linked to a number of names.
Ernesto Valverde appears to be the favourite so far, the Athletic Bilbao Coach achieving consistently good results in Spain.
Among the other names linked to the Blaugrana bench, that of Max Allegri has faded in recent weeks, as has that of Sevilla gaffer Jorge Sampaoli, who could be set to take over Argentina, his native country, instead.
