Ernesto Valverde's impressive numbers in 96-game Barcelona career
We take a look at the coach's stats as he renews his contract
Ernesto Valverde has renewed his contract as Barcelona manager after 96 games in the Camp Nou dugout. As he gets set to bring up 100 games, Valverde already has important titles to his name. In his first season he won La Liga and the Copa del Rey. Now he's dreaming of adding another treble to the Barça museum.
Top of La Liga, into the last 16 of the Champions League and the Copa del Rey semifinal, Valverde and his players have big targets this season. It's never easy. Last season they came unstuck in Europe when they were knocked out of the Champions League by Roma.
In Valverde's 96 games on the bench, Barça have won 65 times, drawn 22 and lost just nine games. Sixty-eight percent of the games have ended in wins -- 43 in the league, 11 in the cup, 10 in the Champions League and one in the Spanish Super Cup, another title which he's added to his honours since replacing Luis Enrique.
There have been 233 goals scored in Barça's favour in those 96 games and 78 conceded.
Remember that Valverde was close to finishing his first season in La Liga unbeaten. The defeat at Levante in the penultimate game cost Barça and invincible campaign.
