Barcelona president Bartomeu insists no break clause in Setien contract

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu insists there's no break clause in new coach Quique Setien's contract.

It's been suggested Setien will only remain to the end of the season before he steps aside for Al Sadd coach and former Barca captain Xavi.

But speaking with Sport, Bartomeu assured that Setién "has no clause of departure for June 2020", which means that even if they don't win any title, he will continue. If not, he must be dismissed.

Bartomeu also sent an optimistic message to fans "we will have a good time" and left a message for Xavi: "He will one day be coach of Barça, but now it is Quique."
