Ernesto Valverde couldn’t hold back the tears while bidding farewell to Barca players, Cadena SER say.
The manager got emotional as he paid a visit to Ciutat Esportiva on Tuesday morning. Soon after his arrival, the players shared some words of support with Ernesto via their social media accounts.
Valverde was officially sacked on January 13. He was in charge of Barcelona between 2017 and 2020. He won the domestic double in his debut season at the Camp Nou stadium. Another La Liga title, as well as the Supercopa de Espana, arrived in the following campaign.
However, Valverde was heavily criticised for two consecutive Champions League eliminations. The Catalans lost 3-0 to Roma away in 2018. The following season, they suffered the notorious 4-0 Liverpool defeat.
Valverde was sacked following Barca’s defeat in the Supercopa de Espana semi-finals against Atletico Madrid. The Catalans lost 3-2 even though they were leading 2-1 by the 80th minute.
