There will be no trial. It was set for next December 20 when Barça and Quique Setien They had to meet in court to discuss the departure of the Cantabrian last August. But there will be no trial because the Barça club, as reported by SER Catalunya, has already reached an agreement with the penultimate coach chosen by Josep Maria Bartomeu.
After closing the settlement of Koeman a few days ago, the board of Laporta has now specified that of Setien, which will collect the four million that it had pending in a fractional way. In this way, the club avoids the judicial appointment and finds the most comfortable way out of not having to pay that amount at once after the complaints expressed by it.
Unfair dismissal
In this way, Barça assumes that the dismissal of Setien, held in August 2020 after conceding 2-8 in Lisbon, despite the fact that he had a contract for two and a half more years, was inadmissible. And that allows the Cantabrian coach, away from the benches since then, to collect the amount he had stipulated.

Even if it is little by little. He was barely seven months on the Camp Nou bench after replacing Valverde. And Barça, in less than two years, has had to pay the settlement of three coaches for a value of almost 37 million, including the clauses that it had to pay in its day to unlink Koeman from the Dutch team and the most recent of five million to start Xavi from Al Sadd in Doha.
