He has also recorded 65 wins, 22 draws and nine losses in 96 matches in charge of Barcelona. He has overseen his side keep 45 clean sheets, score 233 goals and concede 78 goals.
Barcelona are currently six points clear at the top of the table after 23 matches. They have also reached the semi-finals of this season’s Copa del Rey and the Champions League last 16.
