Barcelona's new manager: Here's the list of top targets to succeed Quique Setien

Quique Setien endured a difficult time at Barcelona. While the Catalan club were on course to win the La Liga title, poor run of results allowed Real Madrid to topple them to lift the coveted trophy. The 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich was the final nail in the coffin. 

Ronald Koeman is being tipped as the favourite to succeed Quique Setien at Barcelona. A out and out legend of Barcelona, Koeman has been a vital cog in the Netherlands' transformation in international football. He even was a popular figure at Southampton. While he didn't have the best of time at Everton, he is known for his ability to help clubs/teams rebuild from a dire state. Can Koeman be the answer for Barcelona's woes?

Mauricio Pochettino is the other candidate heavily linked to Barcelona job since leaving Tottenham Hotspur last season. Pochettino has a rich history with Barcelona's arch-rivals Espanyol and that is seen as a big roadblock for him to takeover the job at Camp Nou. However, he is hailed as one of the finest brains in world football and could be the perfect man to take the high-profile job at Barcelona.

Xavi Hernandez - a man who achieved everything for Barcelona and Spain. An absolute legend of the game, Xavi has publicly talked about his intentions to takeover the Barcelona job one day. However, he is reluctant to be on board, at the moment, as he is completely focused on his project as a coach at Al-Sadd. Can the Barcelona board lure him away from Qatar?

Pep Guardiola - arguably the greatest manager of all time - achieved everything as a player and manager for Barcelona. He was the first manager to bag the sextuple for Barcelona and fans have been crying for the former Spain midfielder to comeback to the club. However, Guardiola's agent has confirmed that the Spaniard will be staying in Man City next season "100 per cent". 

Serie A giants Juventus have brought back Massimiliano Allegri as their new manager just a few hours after bidding goodbye to Andrea Pirlo.

Allegri had a great run with Juventus and have won five Serie A titles in his previous spell with the club (2014-2019). He has reportedly signed a 3-year deal. 

"Allegri returns to a bench that he knows very well, a club that he loves and that loves him back, to begin today a new journey together, toward new goals,” Juventus said in a statement.
