Ronald Koeman has revealed that Barcelona is his dream club and he would like to take charge someday.
There were many talks regarding Valverde’s Barcelona future after Barcelona suffered a shock 3-1 defeat at the hands of Levante. Barcelona clearly have problems playing away from home. It was their third loss in six away games this season.
If the Barcelona board decide to sack Ernesto Valverde, then Ronald Koeman is first in line to replace him. The former Barcelona player has won 4 LaLiga titles with Barcelona during his playing days.
Ronald Koeman has publicly branded Barcelona as his dream club. He would like to have a go as the Barcelona manager after representing the Netherlands in the Euro 2020.
The Royal Dutch Football Association director Nico-Jan Hoogma has also revealed last month about the existence of a clause in Koeman’s Netherlands contract enabling him to quit the post if Barcelona come calling.
Koeman told Fox Sports Netherlands when asked about the contract: “It’s only about Barcelona and also about a time after the European Championship. I’m not leaving now, that’s 100 percent certain.”
“I think that as a national coach you are entering a process and that takes two years. After the European Championship there is an evaluation moment and who knows, the KNVB may say: ‘We have performed so badly at the European Championship, we are not going any further.’ Then we will not go further.”
“But I have the opportunity to leave for one club, and there is only one club in it. I can safely say that I will not leave the Dutch national team for anyone else. I have said often enough that [Barcelona] is my dream club.”
Ernesto Valverde needs to do some magical turnarounds and try to win the LaLiga and Champions League this season. Ronald Koeman is breathing just around his neck and could possibly be his alternative next season if he fails to deliver any silverware to the Camp Nou at the end of this season.
