Following Luis Enrique’s departure, Barcelona FC has confirmed
Ernesto Valverde as their new manager. Valverde stepped down from his role in
charge of Athletic Bilbao last week having led the Basque club to seventh place
in La Liga and Europa League qualification.
He has also managed Villarreal, Valencia and Barça’s city
rivals Espanyol in a varied coaching career that included two years in Greece
with Olympiakos.
Valverde also had a two-year spell as a Barcelona player in
the late 1980s and will now return to the Camp Nou after a 27-year absence.
