On Monday, Quique Setien is expected to get the sack publicly.

With Setien in charge, the Catalans have won 16 games out of 25; 4 ended in a draw while 5 were lost, including the ones against Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

Ronald Koeman is said to be the best-positioned candidate to replace the Spaniard.
