Barcelona would like manager Ernesto Valverde to decide on his future by March 2019, with his contract set to expire next summer.
According to Marca, the former Athletic Bilbao boss holds an option for an additional year. Club president Josep Mario Bartomeu told Onda Cero (h/t Marca) he would like a decision by March:
"I would like him to continue, as he is the club coach and I like how he relates to us and to the players.
"When we talked we knew that he would succeed, we are very happy with how things are going, and he has always been our first choice.
