Netherlands Manager, Ronald Koeman Set To Become Next Barcelona Coach After Quique Setien “Sacking”

Netherlands manager, Ronald Koeman is set to become next Barcelona coach after Quique Setien was sacked following the club’s humiliating 8-2 loss to Bayern Munich last week. 

Setien, 61, who was only appointed in January was relieved of his duties after Barcelona finished trophyless first time in 12 years.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Ronald Koeman will become the next coach of Barcelona and the details of his contract are being finalised following negotiations with the Dutch Football Association.

Koeman is expected to first sign a two-year contract with a longer-term contract likely to be handed to him depending on the outcome of the club’s presidential elections next year.

Ronald Koeman is one of the most decorated stars in Barcelona’s glorious history.

He played for Barcelona from 1989–1995, scoring 106 goals for the club and also worked as Barcelona’s assistant coach between 1998 and 2000.
