For several years now, Spanish football ‘monsters’ Barcelona F/C has governed the world’s football with their huge amounts of beautiful goals, aptitudes, top players, polished skill, awards, and historic record making.

Having so many laurels to their credit, nobody expected that, there will be a day for the team to fall embarrassingly like the ongoing Champions League quarter last match against Germany’s Bayern Munich.

In fact, supporters who own and operate Barcelona were amazingly drained and broken down when Bayern Munich ‘destroyed’ their team by 8-2 just like the German National team did to multiple World Cup Champions Brazil in their homeland infront of a massive home crowd.

The team has lost to other good teams previously but this edge of scoreline is quite ‘disgraceful’ to such a colossal football brand. Indeed, Bayern Munich defeated the ‘Lions’ of club football.

It was as though there was nothing in question for the players of the side, as the looked on weakly. After the match, football intellectuals, fans and Barcelona officials, have blamed the manager of the side for a poor show on the day.

Subsequently, Barcelona has on Monday seventeenth August, 2020, officially fired the manager, Quique Setien. He leaves after only seven months in the job. Authorities of team has however, announced a presidential elections to fall off soon.

The 61-year-old Quique Setien was appointed in January 2020 but was sacked after the end of a disorganized campaign for the Catalan giants. However, a lump of the Barcelona players have also been put on sale.

In the meantime, the club’s official statement reads:

“The Board of Directors have agreed that Quique Setién is no longer the first team coach. This is the first decision within a wider restructuring of the first team which will be agreed between the current technical secretary and the new coach, who will be announced in the coming days.”

And here’s the details on the elections

The formal announcement of the elections will take place at the end of January 2021, in accordance with the provisions of article 43.1 of the Club Statutes.”

Ronald Koeman is presently the most loved to supplant Setien at Barcelona and is relied upon to be unveiled in the not so distant future.
