Ernesto Valverde is at the rhythm of Tito Vilanova and Tata Martino
Barcelona's best start to the Liga and Champions League in recent years
The team has bounced back after Spanish Super Cup defeat by Real Madrid
Ernesto Valverde has obtained good results with Barcelona, the latest of which was a 3-1 win over Olympiakos in the Champions League.
He has 10 wins and 1 draw in La Liga and the Champions League and is enjoying one of the best starts to the season in the last decade, since Pep Guardiola was in charge in 2008-2009.
Barcelona have bounced back after defeat by Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup and Neymar leaving to join PSG. Since then they have won 7 and drawn 1 in La Liga, while winning the first three UCL matches.

Tata Martino and Tito Vilanova's opening results matched up to those of Ernesto Valverde in 2013-14 and 2012-13.
However converting that into trophies is another thing - Pep Guardiola won the treble in 2008-09 while Luis Enrique did the same in 2014-15.
