Seems that announcement about Valverde will be published today or tomorrow. And it's already known who will replace him. It's Quiqe Setien, former manager of Betis. He will manage team until the end of season.
Interesting choice. Setien perfectly fits for original Barca style, but he don't have experience in top clubs.
Interesting fact that Valverde is first sacked Barca manager since Van Gaal who was sacked in 2003. It's common thing nowadays.

But they seem to want a little more experience since Pochettino has more experience than Xavi in that regards.
Appointing Xavi at this point in the season considering the current state of the club would have been a disaster for both parties. No doubt he would be the ideal option for Barcelona a few seasons down the line, but starting his coaching career with the pressure of one of the best teams in the world comes with a lot of demands and pressure.
I have some other options ahead of Pochetino, but I would be comfortable with him taking over from Valverde. Frankly, I would be comfortable with anyone taking over from Valverde at this point in time.
Now the most talked name for being Barcelona coach is Pochetino who was a player of Espanyol and two years ago when asked if he would ever train Barcelona he responded that he would better continue with Tottenham or he would better take care of his farm in Argentina rather than train Barcelona.I am waiting to see his final response.
And doesn't Barca hire managers who only have been with the club as players? Isn't it some sort of tradition for them?
That is one thing but my point is more how a person integrity can change for more money and forget everything he has said two years ago and to accept the offer from Barcelona.I think that Pochetino should not be hired and Xavi most probably will win the duel for the manager of Barcelona.

I actually thought that they were going to go in for Xavi because they were many reports about Barcelona considering going in for him and letting Valverde go. But they seem to want a little more experience since Pochettino has more experience than Xavi in that regards.Are Pochettino and Xavi candidates for the Barcelona coach? yes win Pochettino has good experience in coaching even able to bring Tottenham Hotspurs into the final UCL but not a champion but it was a good effort for Pochettino.
What is said @swogerino Pochettino does not want to coach Barcelona because he does not know what the reason is even though Barcelona is a big club.

If the offer is high then Pochetino could choose Barcelona as his coach but indeed the news has not yet been circulated in the news so it is still awaiting a good decision.
I think Barcelona should change coach immediately because the current coach does not provide a good strategy in Barcelona's game.

Real Madrid won the trophy as they were kind of lucky that they didn't face Barcelona.
If the final was an El Classico I think that Barcelona would be able to win it.
Hopefully, we saw a Madrid derby... Congrats to Real Madrid. Let's see now if this is going to boost their confidence in winning the La Liga title as well.

Allegri is free too 
, Why none wants him .
Well refusing Barca even if not the start of the season is not a good choice IMHO, can be the best opportunity of life as a coach.

Yeah, this one I never understood. I felt so sure he only said no because someone else in EPL already booked him but then they came and went, how many teams have already sacked coaches and got others. Allegri can't spend more than this season without a job otherwise no big club will want him haha.
Then again, Barca needs someone a bit more progressive, and I don't mean Allegri isn't;) Just not a man for this decade.
I was wondering recently who could be a better choice for Barcelona's coach than Valverde. Do you know what's the answer?

Xavi rejected Barca offer, but he would interested to join Barca after end of season. He haven't proven himself as coach, but I would like to see him. Other candidate Koeman also rejected offer.
Other possible candidates is Pochetino, Quique Setien, B team coach Xavi Garcia.

I'd ear a rumor on Pochettino too but why so many coaches are refusing the offer?
Too much pressure?
He has a legitimate reasons to reject Barcelona offer. He'll come to Barcelona when he wanted it , for now xavi has a commitment to his current club and want to continue till the end which it could happened xavi would accept Barcelona offer in the next transfer window.
He also respected valverde , he don't want to accept the job on the current situation that he'll get kicked and replaced by xavi, not a cool way to accept the job, he said.
Real Madrid won the game but I lost the bet, to be honest this was the nasty game. I was very confident that Real Madrid would win, but something inside me said: "They will draw, they will draw, they will draw". I often reviewed the games played between these two teams and my inner voice kept telling me that they would draw, but I decide to bet that Real Madrid will win the game, something that didn't happen in the 90 minutes and I ended up losing bet. But I congratulate Real Madrid for winning this game
I also lose when placing bets on both teams to score whereas before in the semifinals there were always lots of goals unfortunately in the final there were no goals
I made a few single and parlay bets, I almost got $500

Because it's obvious that we are going nowhere with Valverde.
This should be clear since last season or so. I mean, I understand you need process but that will only work for you if your playstyle is improving. Klopp was able to work it out at Liverpool because he's a good manager/tactician, to begin with, and he needs better players to make it work which is why time is needed. Valverde is the complete opposite.
Imagine a team having forwards who were brought in through mega deals (Griezmann and Dembele) but just an injury to one of the old players and now there is panic at Camp Nou on how they will make it without him in the next 4 months. Just waiting to see how things will develop at Barcelona.
Should be a perfect opportunity if you have young players with a prospect.
Another terrible news for Barca that Suarez is out for 4 months. Now Barca will have to search for replacement for him on this transfer window. Who it could be?

Just waiting to see how things will develop at Barcelona. Suarez is important for Barcelona to be at the forefront because Suarez can be relied upon always to score goals and bring Barcelona victory, now his injury condition will certainly panic for Barcelona because in my opinion Dembele has not been relied on when playing.
I have not yet received rumors about Barcelona's purchase in January.

The super copa cup is won by Real Madrid with a dramatic victory that is on penalties in extra time.
Valverde saved Real Madrid despite a fatal foul on Atl. Madrid but that saved Real Madrid and finally became the supercopa champion this year.
This is a very tense match.

Pressure is one of factors. And not everyone want to take over team in the middle of season. Xavi want start working in summer when he will able to buy players which he want. Koeman rejected offer because he want to continue working with Netherlands national team.
Seems that Barca will have to find coach for short term, until the end of season. Because it's obvious that we are going nowhere with Valverde.
