Report: Barcelona prepare for Gerardo Martino exit

A report claims that Barcelona have drawn up a five-man shortlist in the event that head coach Gerardo Martino leaves in the summer.

Barcelona have reportedly drawn up a five-man shortlist in the event that Gerardo Martino departs his position as head coach at the end of the season.

Despite a successful campaign on paper, Martino has been criticised for a perceived change in playing style this season, with his position due to be reviewed at the end of May.

According to Sport, Barca have identified five managers to replace the Argentine, who took charge at the Camp Nou at the start of the season.

Celta Vigo boss Luis Enrique, Athletic Bilbao's Ernesto Valverde, Borussia Dortmund's Jurgen Klopp and Atletico Madrid's Diego Simeone are all believed to be in contention, as well as former Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas.

Barcelona are currently second in La Liga and will contest the final of the Copa del Rey against Real Madrid in April.
