Ernesto Valverde arrived to the FC Barcelona in summer of 2018 of the hand of Robert Fernández, the previous technical secretary of the Barcelona club. In his first season like trainer of the FC Barcelona, the Txingurri won LaLiga Santander and the Glass of Rey, although it remained the spine nailed of the elimination of the Champions League.
In spite of the 'doublet', the traced back of the Rome in an eliminatory in which the Barcelona team had taken out a wide 4-1 in the gone did a lot damage in the confidence that the cúpula of the entity had in a Valverde that did not know to react with changes in front of a traced back that it saw come from the first moment.
Thus, the club decided to expect to seat to renew to a technician that signed for two seasons -that will fulfil the next month of June- with another optional. The case is that, according to Mark, the club is not the only of the two parts that is not safe of the continuity of the technician extremeño, but the own Valverde neither has it clear.
To the Txingurri did not like him at all that the board headed by Josep Maria Bartomeu questioned him in the back days to this goleada that the president did not fit well. The 'doublet' that won later did not cover a black night in the history of the club that does that the Champions of this ao was a constant examination for the team.
Valverde, frustrated in the market of signings
Neither it felt comfortable the Txingurri during the summer and, more specifically, with the decisions of the club in the market of signings. Valverde Saw like the club, of unilateral form and without taking into account his opinion, sold to Paulinho Bezerra to China when it was an important player for the team. The dismissal of Robert Fernández, with the one who got along, neither helped to that Valverde felt of the all to taste.
Besides, the own technician extremeño confessed in the room of press in summer that the signing of Malcom was thing of the club and no a request of the technical body. Instead, when Valverde asked a left-handed side to cover the drop of Lucas Digne, the club went back to say "no". Many brush that they will have to cover with results.
