Barcelona fires Koeman after tough loss at the hands of Rayo Vallecano. Xavi to take over

This is the reason why Ronald Koeman was fired by Barcelona

Koeman fired

Ronald Koeman was already in trouble ahead of Barcelona’s last match against Rayo Vallecano. Barcelona supporters were already on fire against their manager after losing El Clasico against the Real Madrid 2-1 a few days before.  Unfortunately, the Club had to intervene after some fans targeted Koeman’s car.

Losing to Rayo Vallecano was just too much, and eventually Barcelona fired Koeman with the following statement:

“FC Barcelona have relieved Ronald Koeman of his duties as first-team coach. The president of the club, Joan Laporta, informed him of the decision after the defeat against Rayo Vallecano.

Koeman will say goodbye to the squad on Thursday at the Ciutat Esportiva. FC Barcelona wishes to thank him for his service to the club and wishes him all the best in his professional career.”

According to ESPN, it will probably be Xavi Hernandez to take over.
