Barcelona President Josep Maria Bartomeu says the club’s new manager will be announced on Monday with Spanish media certain it will be Ernesto Valverde, who is leaving Athletic Bilbao.
Bartomeu told Spain’s TV3 that Barcelona were confident they knew what they had to do to get back on top after finishing second to Real Madrid in La Liga.
Last Saturday, Barcelona salvaged some pride from a disappointing season when they lifted the King’s Cup with a 3-1 win over Alaves, but attention has already turned to how they can improve as they begin a new era.
Coach Luis Enrique had announced in March that he would leave the club at the end of the season.
