Former coach of Catalan “Barcelona” Quique Setien is going to sue the former club. He announced this in a statement on Twitter.. Setien was retired on 17 August after a disgraceful defeat in the Champions League to Bayern Munich (2-8). But he received official documents on dismissal only on September 17.

Setiena's claim is that the president of the club, Josep Bartomeu, did not inform him of the terms of the termination of the contract.. The coach demands from the club 4 million euros in compensation.

" We took such a step in order to defend our rights and achieve what was agreed upon with Barcelona at the time, the statement said..

Setien took over FC Barcelona in January 2020 and has played 25 games under his leadership.

On August 19, 2020 Barcelona appointed Ronald Koeman as new coach.

So far, he has not received the right to be on the team bench in official matches, writes Cadena COPE. The coach did not receive permission to fully manage the team from the Royal Spanish Football Federation, as the club had a valid contract with Setien. Terms of termination of the contract have not yet been agreed, as Setien hopes to receive compensation.
