Barca is in the middle of a disruptive revolution: after the epochal 8-2 loss against Bayern Munchen Quique Setien will be the first one to be fired. "He's no longer our coach" confirms Barca's president Josep Bartomeu on Sunday night, at Cadena COPE microphones.

The decision - taken after the last meeting alongside with the team manager Abidal and sporting director Planes - was expected since a couple of days and it will be confirmed tomorrow. But the whole management will be in a risky position during the next CdA: Abidal and the CEO Grau seem to be close to farewell to the team.

Who will take Setien's role on the bench? Ronald Koeman is currently in pole position, ahead of Xavi and Pochettino. An internal option is the latest option: a slice of the society is pursuing for Javier Garcia Pimienta, currently manager of Barcelona B.
