Netherlands Coach Ronald Koeman has been chosen as the next Barcelona manager and will be given a two-year contract, according to reports.
Barcelona are set for a shake-up following their trophyless 2019/20 campaign, which ended with the humiliating 8-2 Champions League quarter-final exit to Bayern Munich last week.
President Josep Maria Bartomeu confirmed that manager Quique Setien would not continue as first-team coach after the Bayern game, with an official club statement coming on Monday. It is expected that sporting director Eric Abidal will also be dismissed.
Koeman (57), is expected to leave his role as Netherlands coach and take over as Barcelona manager later this week. The decision was taken to turn to the Dutchman during a three-hour board meeting at the Camp Nou on Monday, before Setién’s departure was announced.
