FC Barcelona dismisses coach Ronald Koeman

It took a few evil results, but the release of Ronald Koeman in Barcelona took place with a lot of staring. Already the we do further months ago sound like a we have no choice. The then new Old President Joan Laporta had decided two weeks after the end of June at the beginning of June to run the Treaty of the Dutch to the existing terms.

Behind the Catalans lay a turbulent season, which brought the COPA victory after all. But Koeman was not considered a coach of the president, but the hands were bound because of the financially miserable situation. Well, after the departure of Lionel Messi, two 0: 3 bankruptcies to the kick-off in the Champions League season and a total of three league defeats, most recently the 1: 2 in Clasico and on Wednesday evening a 0: 1 at Rayo Vallecano, Is end to Koeman.

The 58-year-old had strengthened youth after the numerous outlets in recent months and partly harvested fruit; The 17-year-old Gavi shows strong approaches, the 18-year-old Pedri is already thinker and handlebars, and the same 18-year-old Ansu Fati gilded his comeback after eleven-month injury last with a goose-bump moment against Levante (while Koeman locked on the grandstand Sat) and other strong achievements - now he is missing again injured.

Under the line, however, is a club that has to rebuild or set up - and Koeman is no longer the sought after man. Too often, the former bond coach spoke his team small, too often he made a tactical failure.

As a successor, ex-player Xavi, which is currently under contract in Qatar at the Al-Sadd SC, is brought into play. Besides, name: Ajax Amsterdam s Erik Ten Hag and River Plates Marcelo Gallardo. But their change in the middle of the season seems unlikely, which is why an interim solution with Sergi Berjuan, the coach of the second team of the Catalans, seems conceivable.
