Quique Setién has been axed by Spanish giants Barcelona as the club announced his sacking on Monday night, August 17, as part of wide-ranging restructuring of the first team. This decision comes barely three days after the Catalan giants suffered a record 8-2 loss to German side Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Reports claim Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu is planning a mass clear-out with just four players listed to be retained. Only the captain Lionel Messi, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Clement Lenglet, and Frenkie de Jong are the players to have escaped the mass sacking.
