29 mag 2017

Valverde has been the favorite to take-over from Luis Enrique at Barcelona as the official note has now arrived. Ernesto Valverde is the new Barcelona head coach. Here is what Josep Maria Bartomeu had to say on the matter: " He loves to play a style of football that suits Barcelona perfectly".

HE WILL BE REPLACING LUIS ENRIQUE - Valverde left Athletic Bilbao as he won a Spanish supercup with them. He played for Barcelona in the past as he will now be replacing Luis Enrique. He signed a two year deal (with a third year option) with the Blaugrana club as he will be presented to the Spanish press on Thursday.

According to reports in Spain, he already has his eyes on potential new signings as he likes Manchester United's Ander Herrera a lot. He will now be given some time as Barcelona want to have a more successful season next year.
