Posted on 25 October 2021 at 12:30 pm by AC In the aftermath of FC Barcelona's defeat, Ronald Koeman's future is once again in the Catalan press. After a very complicated start to the season, Ronald Koeman seemed to have passed a course. His FC Barcelona was starting to win again and while all the Spanish press announced that he was about to leave, the Dutchman saw his president speak in defense. Joan Laporta was also clear, assuring that Koeman still has the confidence of management and that its future is not in danger. “Ronald Koeman is going to stay because he deserves a certain confidence, because he is a real Barcelonan, he lives for Barça, he is a reference” explained the president of FC Barcelona, at the beginning of October. “It must be said, he decided to commit to Barça who were in a very complicated situation, whether on the sporting or institutional level”. The defeat against Benfica in the Champions League (3-0), then that against Atlético de Madrid in La Liga (2-0) do not seem to have shaken the confidence of the leaders of FC Barcelona and some have started to think that Koeman could finally finish his contract next June. It was without counting on a crucial turning point in each season of FC Barcelona : the Clasico. In its Camp Nou compound, the Catalan club bowed to the sworn enemy of Real Madrid this Sunday (1-2) and if the score is tight, anger is roaring in Barça. The images of the car of Ronald Koeman booed by a crowd of angry supporters leaving Camp Nou have toured the world. According to information from Calciomercato.com, this would clearly show that Joan Laporta can no longer close her eyes. The president has no other choice but to land a coach who now seems to have become the symbol of Barcelona's downfall, in order to be able to start again on a new project. The bell sound is totally different in Catalonia. Correspondent for Sky Sports in Barcelona, Matteo Moretto assured on Monday that a departure of Ronald Koeman would not be on the agenda at all. The loss to Real Madrid would not have changed anything and Joan Laporta would continue to want to rely on his manager. Moretto even explains that Koeman enjoys a great deal of confidence and therefore should not really be threatened. This could in particular be linked to the costs of dismissing the Dutchman. On Monday, Calciomercato.com indeed reported that there would be a multimillionaire termination clause in Koeman's contract, which could undermine Barça's … already bloodless accounts.
