Many think it is time to bid Valverde goodbye. The fact that he has won two league titles and one Copa del Rey (they are also in the final this season) gets overshadowed due to his team's weak away performances in the knockout stages of the Champions League, and a major chunk of the blame should be put on him. When a team get knocked out twice in two years after having a three-goal lead in the first leg, it is a huge matter of concern.

There are not many managers who can replicate Barcelona's style of football. Valverde's style of football has been a bit boring to watch for the Barca faithful, although they have turned out to be an efficient side under his management as the domestic results speak for itself.

Real Betis coach Quique Setién and Ajax boss Erik ten Hag are on Barcelona's radar as per sources, and Valverde's exit looks possible this summer.
