Barca settled on Setien after their efforts to bring back former skipper Xavi Hernandez hit a snag. Xavi is the head coach at Qatar Stars League side, Al Sadd. He played for the side and when he retired he took over as boss.

Ernesto took over as Barca boss in May 2017 as a replacement for Luis Henrique. He won two Laliga titles during his time at the club but failure to Europe but him at loggerheads with the club supporters. His side was ousted by AS Roma during the 2017-18 and suffered the same fate in the hands of Liverpool the following season.
