Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Barcelona are right to stand by Ernesto Valverde.
Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has made it clear that Valverde will be continuing in his role despite a disappointing end to the season.
"Away from the great friendship that we have, Ernesto is spectacular," the Manchester City coach said at the basketball match between Manresa and Real Madrid on Sunday.
"He's done a very good job. Sure he lost the Champions League, we all did.
"[He's in charge of] a team that has won two leagues in a row and plays good football, I'm happy that he's staying.
"Barcelona continue being loyal to his style."
