Ernesto Valverde has agreed a new one year deal at Barcelona with the option for a further year, the club has confirmed.
Valverde currently in his second campaign at Camp Nou, having joined from Athletic Bilbao, won the LaLiga and the Copa del Rey title in 2017-18.
He has also recorded 65 wins, 22 draws and nine losses in 96 matches in charge of Barcelona. He has overseen his side keep 45 clean sheets, score 233 goals and concede 78 goals.
Barcelona are currently six points clear at the top of the table after 23 matches. They have also reached the semi-finals of this season’s Copa del Rey and the Champions League last 16.
Club president Josep Maria Bartomeu spoke highly of Valverde earlier in the week, insisting he would be in charge of the team next season regardless of whether they win any silverware.
The former Athletic, Espanyol, Villarreal and Olympiacos coach is due to speak at a news conference later on Friday ahead of his side’s game against Real Valladolid
