LIGA – According to information from Sky Sports and ESPN, the management of FC Barcelona have chosen Ronald Koeman to succeed Quique Setién on the bench of the Blaugrana. Humiliated last Friday by Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in Lisbon (2-8), Barça launches its revolution in sport.
At Barça, the change is now. Three days after having experienced a historic humiliation against Bayern Munich (2-8) on the occasion of the Final 8 of the Champions League, the Catalan club seems to have reacted quickly to find the successor of Quique Setién. According to information from Sky Sports and ESPN, the second in Liga, who has not won any title in 2019-2020, would have chosen Ronald Koeman, the coach of the Netherlands since 2018. By settling on the bench of Barça, the 57-year-old technician would he leave the Dutch selection? In any case, Ronald Koeman would have a clause in his contract to become FC Barcelona coach.

Competing for the position with Mauricio Pochettino and Laurent Blanc, Ronald Koeman is a legend of the Catalan club. In 1992, it was he who offered, in overtime, the very first Champions League to the Blaugrana, opposed that night to Sampdoria Genoa (1-0). The former coach of Ajax Amsterdam (2001-2005) or Everton (2016-2017) was the priority of the Barcelona management. This Monday, the Spanish daily Sport announced that Josep Bartomeu was negotiating personally with him.
If he were to settle on the bench of FC Barcelona, a huge project would await Ronald Koeman. The Dutch coach is expected to handle the cases in particular Lionel Messi, shaken by the heavy defeat in Final 8 and who would consider a departure, Luis Suarez, whose name is announced at Ajax Amsterdam, or Antoine Griezmann, who has failed to win this season. He too will have to quickly take his marks because the shadow Xavi will hover over his head if the results are not quickly there.
