Is Luis Enrique a gonner?

Assuming Barcelona don't become the 1st Team in the Champions League era to overturn a 4 goal 1st leg deficit…………………..

Then the only way I could imagine Enrique surviving this season would be to win the league and for Real to not retain the Champions League.

But are Barcelona as ruthless as Real Madrid? Or even our own Roman Abramovich for that matter……….

Does Enrique go by the end of his team’s season at the very latest? Or what in your opinion (assuming PSG win the tie) would keep him in his job?

They would hire some explayer or some random name, thats what they usually do.

didnt think of Setien..that's a good shout

Las Palmas have been one of the most watchable La Liga teams this season

Eusebio Sacristán is another likely candidate, of course.

He's got Real Sociedad flying since he took over the Moyes shipwreck, has managerial experience at Barça, both as assistant to Rijkaard and with the B team, and also had a good record promoting youth in his time at Celta.

Conte isn't a defensive manager, not even close to being one. As for Barca they don't always exclusively go for managers with Barca "dna".

Of course you are. Your defence is your main strength and is the reason you'll win the title.

You play 3 cb's and wing backs. That would never be allowed at Barca.

Not only is the 3-4-3 we play a subtle tweak on Barca's 4-3-3, just drop the wing backs and push the central CB into DM. The man who breed the Barcelona 'DNA' mentality, Johan Cryuff, was the man who particularly invented the 3-4-3 formation... so um, yes I can see them playing it mate

Conte's 3-4-3 no, you're right about that. Old school Ajax's 'total football' 3-4-3 with the diamond midfield? Absolutely.

Pep did deploy 343 in latter stages of his reign at Barcelona.

Enrique gone at end of season, probably having won the Copy Del Rey.
Board won't stand for mediocre season (assuming Madrid win league).

I can only see ex Barca player as coach.
Maybe Monaco's coach as an outsider.
Although Sampaoli does have a low release clause...
