Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde has cast new doubt over his future at the Nou Camp.

While Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu has declared a confidence Valverde will agree to continue next season, the man in question isn't so sure.

"My future? When I have an answer, I will give it," declared Valverde.

While there's a 12 month option on the table, Valverde has stalled on seeking to trigger it.

It emerged last month that he had confessed to friends he'd been left exhausted this season by the demands of the job.
