Koeman, new Barcelona coach
Football Club Barcelona needs to shine again. The first decision Bartomeu made after the game last Friday was to dismiss Quique Setién. It is very likely that the decision was already made before the start of the game against the German team. To be sure, the embarrassing result has only accelerated things.
Until a few days ago there were two names that sounded loud to occupy the Can Barça bench, Mauricio Pochettin and Ronald Koeman. However, the rumors that point to the Dutchman as Barcelona’s new coach and the one in charge of starting a new project at Barcelona are getting stronger. A project that returns the illusion to the team and the fans. In fact, television cameras have been able to see the Dutchman upon his arrival in the Catalan capital.

He is also a coach with an extensive career, Ajax, Benfica, PSV Eindhoven, Valencia, Everton, … He currently directs the Dutch team where he has reaped good results. The Dutchman advocates work and commitment, for the seriousness, effort and tenacity of a devastated squad. Koeman’s hand will not shake when it comes to running one of the best clubs in the world.
Seiten’s removal
The removal of Quique Seitén is now a reality. It is likely that the former Blaugrana coach already knows that the club does not have him for next season. The Cantabrian and Eric Abidal, as reported by Betevé, have had lunch together and his dismissal was reported.
