Setien ignored the sequels in which club stalwart Gerard Piqué described as a ‘low level’ after beating 8-2 in the Champions League quarter-finals.
The Spaniard inherited the team in the circular of the 16th of the Festival of elite European clubs and in the most sensitive in La Liga, but finished the 2019/20 season without trophies, while Captain Lionel Messi allegedly missed a request for movement.
And the Blaugrana have now temporarily moved to relieve former Royal Betis boss from their role as head coach and will announce a successor “in the coming days.”
“The board has agreed that Quique Setién is no longer the coach of the first team,” reads on the club’s official website.
“This is the first resolution from a broader restructuring of the first team to be agreed between the existing technical secretary and the new technician, which will be released in the coming days.”
Setién, who replaced Ernesto Valverde in January, oversaw 16 wins, 4 draws and five losses in his unfortunate stage.
