FC Barcelona fires Koeman
Ronald Koeman is no longer a coach at FC Barcelona. The club announced this on its website. Accordingly, the decision was made after the 0-1 defeat at the newly promoted Rayo Vallecano in the Spanish league. Koeman will say goodbye to the team on Thursday, it said. After ten games, FC Barcelona are ninth in the midfield of the Spanish league. And thus clearly misses the self-set goals. There is a risk of premature end in the Champions League. Barça have lost four of the last six competitive games, including the prestige duel against Real Madrid. Koeman was on a two-year contract with Barcelona but has been criticized for several months, according to media reports that he had a difficult relationship with new Barca president Joan Laporta. Former Barca player Xavi Hernandez and Belgian coach Roberto Martinez are now considered potential successors in the dugout.
