Barcelona sacked Koeman, hunt for a new coach

Barcelona sack coach Ronald Koeman. The Dutch manager was sacked after a 1-0 league defeat to Rayo Vallecano. The new misstep came after Sunday’s knockout at home to Real Madrid. Barcelona, ​​in the middle of the league table, also risk not qualifying for the round of 16 of the Champions League. The disappointing results are added to a financial situation that is complex to say the least, with the club forced to downsize the project to face a budget in deep red. For the bench, according to the Catalan newspaper Sport, Xavi Hernandez, Ten Hag, Andrea Pirlo, Roberto Martinez and Marcelo Gallardo are in contention.
