Barcelona manager Quique Setien\u2019s future remains unclear as the Catalan giants could end the season without silverware. <\/p>\n\n\n
Barcelona, who are already out of the Copa del Rey, are currently second in La Liga<\/a> table, four points adrift of league leaders Real Madrid, with only two games remaining.<\/p>\n\n\n While in the Champions League, there is a high possibility of the Blaugrana squaring up against a European heavyweight in the quarter-finals, if they get past Napoli in the first place. And given Barcelona’s recent form, Napoli could very well end Lionel Messi and company’s journey in the Round of 16 stages.<\/p>\n\n\n Barcelona<\/a> hired Quique Setien back in January after sacking Ernesto Valverde, who was in charge of the Catalans since the summer of 2017. But after only 21 games in charge, several Spanish outlets<\/a> are claiming that Setien might be on his way out of the Camp Nou if he fails to deliver a trophy this season.<\/p>\n\n\n So, with Quique Setien\u2019s future still hanging in thin air, let us take a look at the three possible candidates, who can replace the former Real Betis manager next season.<\/p>\n\n\n Former Tottenham Hotspur manager, Mauricio Pochettino\u2019s name came out of nowhere to be linked with Barcelona back in January<\/a>, with Quique Setien<\/a> eventually taking the lead role at the club.<\/p>\n\n\n As per Guillem Balague, a renowned Catalan journalist, Pochettino was one of the top preferences of Barcelona sporting director, Eric Abidal to replace Ernesto Valverde as the manager. <\/p>\n\n\n But as the Argentine tactician wanted more time in assessing the project in detail, Barcelona rushed into appointing Quique Setien to replace Valverde.<\/p>\n\n\n In 290 odd matches in charge of Tottenham, Pochettino took Spurs to new heights. <\/p>\n\n\n The 48-year-old introduced a high-pressing and stylish brand of football in north London and contributed immensely in developing young academy players.<\/p>\n\n\n#3 Mauricio Pochettino:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
