Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde 'does not know' whether he will be in charge of the Spanish giants next season.

Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde has admitted that he 'does not know' whether he will be in charge of the Spanish giants entering the 2019-2020 campaign.

Valverde replaced Luis Enrique as head coach of Barca in 2017 and the 54-year-old led the club to a league and cup double during his first season at the helm.

Barcelona currently lead the way in La Liga once again, while they have progressed to the latter stages of both the Champions League and Copa del Rey.

Valverde signed a two-year contract with the club upon his arrival in the summer of 2017 and although the deal involves the option of a 12-month extension, neither party has made a move to trigger the clause.

The former Athletic Bilbao manager has now conceded that he is in the dark over his future at Camp Nou.

"I do not know what I will do next season. In this football, who knows? We all know how things are. I never think long or long term," Valverde told Barca TV.

"For us, two months are a very long term. If you win a game, everyone is happy and if you lose, everyone is watching you. What I want is for everyone to be satisfied with the work. But we are not going to cheat.

"If you do not win the league, everyone looks at the coach because it is marked like that. I try to meet the objectives and, of course, how much we have left, so let's see it."

Barcelona will return to league action with a trip to Getafe this weekend.
