Barcelona are relied upon to name previous Athletic Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde as their new head mentor on Monday.

The club will hold an executive meeting at 13:00 BST on Monday before President Josep Maria Bartomeu addresses the media at 18:00 BST.
Valverde burned through two seasons at Barcelona as a player from 1988-1990, scoring eight objectives in 22 matches.
The Spaniard lead Athletic Bilbao to seventh place in La Liga this season, while Barcelona completed second behind Real Madrid.
