 | Barthomeu:Valverde is the coach we want6-08-2019 |
Barcelona President Josep Maria Bartomeu said that Ernesto Valverde was the right man for the Catalans, despite the nightmare of missing out on the Champions League. Barca lost 0-4 in Liverpool`s rematch of the Anfield semifinals and failed to qualify for the final, although it did win the first match with 3-0.
Planning for the new season has already begun and has actually been underway for some time. Some players have already signed, and we will continue to talk after the King Cup final. Valverde has already said that he has the backing of the president and the board. He is the coach we want. We are in the middle of a big project. He has a contract with the club and we are very pleased with him. It is now important for players to recover after a huge disappointment.
The final (for the King`s Cup with Valencia on May 25) is not the deciding factor (whether Valverde will remain). The main goal is La Liga, and then we want the Cup or the Champions League, said Bartomeu, quoted by Marca.
The season was wonderful, we are already champions before the end. We all want more. We now have the Cup final coming after a devastating defeat. Now is the time to restore the support of the fans, the enthusiasm and the will to fight, said the los kules boss.
