Quique Setien says he is yet to receive any compensation after being sacked by La Liga side Barcelona, and that the club have “have not even called to tell me I am dismissed”.
Former Real Betis boss Setien was handed a two-and-a-half-year contract at Camp Nou in January after being drafted in to replace Ernesto Valverde in the dugout.
However, the 62-year-old only lasted eight months in the role as he was unable to prevent Barca from recording their first trophyless season since 2007-08.
“In my case, Quique Setien, it is public and well known that on August 17, both the club and the president announced my dismissal with immediate effect,” he said in an official statement.
“However, it was not until yesterday, September 16 (one month later), when they sent me, for the first time, the written communication of said dismissal (without any settlement).”
The Spaniard has now revealed he is still waiting for reimbursement from the Blaugrana, and that he still hasn’t been contacted by anyone from the club over the cancellation of his contract.
“Barca have not compensated me, nor have they offered me anything,” Setien told COPE.
“They have not even called me to tell me that I am dismissed.”
