Ronald Koeman’s FC Barcelona will not be remembered. Worse still, despite the passage of time, the Dutch coach has never digested his ouster by Joan Laporta. The Barcelona president is regularly the target of criticism from his former coach. This is still the case in recent hours during a press conference as part of the Koeman Foundation. He particularly regrets the management by the presidency of those who proudly wore the club’s colors.It seems that club legends have no meaning to this board.“, he says straight away, before moving on to the Nico Williams case, and adding another layer on Laporta.I can’t look inside the club to know if it’s possible (the transfer of Nico Williams). I understand the interest because he’s a great player. I don’t know if it’s rumors or not. They intend to fight for this type of player but in recent years, Barça’s problem has been Messi’s departure, mine, Xavi’s… I think the best thing is to respect the club’s legends. That’s much more important than fighting for a player.»
The coach of the Netherlands, who reached the semi-finals of the Euro, eliminated by England (2-1), believes that Laporta is not doing FC Barcelona any good.Barça has to be at the top and in recent years it is not where it should be to compete. I think it is because of the board, because it is not working well.“Koeman remains a supporter of the club despite his ouster in 2021. He also hopes to return one day, of course with other people at the helm.”I have a dream and it is to return to Barça. But not as a coach and with another president.“Finally, he took advantage of this media intervention to wish good luck to Hansi Flick, the new coach of the first team.”I hope Laporta will finally be patient with his coach. If you don’t feel the support of the president, you are lost.“He knows something about it.
