Barcelona have tapped Ernesto Valverde to be their new manager. The Spaniard resigned as Athletic Bilbao boss last week, paving the way for him to take over at the Camp Nou.
Luis Enrique announced in March that he would leave Barcelona after the season, ending a three-year stint. Enrique’s reign began with a treble and he won the domestic double last year, but the team sputtered down the stretch and never really found its stride this season. They won the Copa del Rey in Enrique’s last match on Saturday, but never really looked like one of the best teams in the world, which brought the manager plenty of hear until he announced that he’d step down following the season.
