Ronald Koeman sacked as Barcelona manager …

The Dutchman has been a man under considerable pressure at Camp Nou this term, having been expected to depart in the summer.

But with president Joan Laporta unable to persuade a number of targets to take over at the Catalan club, amid their financial difficulties, the ex-Everton and Southampton boss remained in situ during the early months of the campaign.

However, dismal Champions League defeats against Bayern Munich and Benfica, ensured that there was little comfort for Koeman, with the club’s fanbase increasingly disillusioned with his management in the post-Lionel Messi era.

Now, after the weekend Clasico defeat at the hands of bitter rivals Real Madrid was followed up by Wednesday night’s 1-0 loss at Rayo Vallecano, the Barca board have finally parted ways with the 58 year-old.
