Ernesto Valverde will remain the head coach of Barcelona until the end of the season, according to a report.

Ernesto Valverde will reportedly remain the head coach of Barcelona until the end of the season.

The Spanish champions have struggled to show their best form in the early stages of the 2019-20 campaign, already losing three of their 11 La Liga matches this term.

The Catalan giants remain top of Spain's top flight, but they are just three points ahead of seventh-placed Getafe, while Real Madrid and Real Sociedad have the same points as the leaders.

Barca were again disappointing in Tuesday's goalless draw with Slavia Prague in the Champions League, and there have been calls for Valverde to leave his position as head coach.

According to Marca, the 55-year-old will see out the campaign in his current role but is likely to leave next summer when his contract expires.

Valverde has won back-to-back La Liga titles since arriving from Athletic Bilbao, but the team's failure to challenge for the Champions League trophy over the last two seasons has led to much discontent.

Ronald Koeman has been strongly linked with the managerial role at Camp Nou as the former Barca centre-back is being tipped to leave his position as head coach of the Netherlands after Euro 2020.
