Ronald Koeman is unconcerned about his future as Barcelona coach following the departure of President Josep Maria Bartomeu. Víctor Font is one of the favorites to take over and he would like to bring Pep Guardiola back to Camp Nou as head coach. In that case, Koeman would have to leave the field, but he says he is not working on that.

Koeman has been brought to Barcelona by Bartomeu. Now that the chairman has left and a new wind is blowing through the Camp Nou, his future seems uncertain, despite a contract until mid-2022. “That is not in my hands,” Koeman said at the press conference on Friday. “I am currently the coach of this club and I work as hard as possible to help the team move forward. For me it is about achieving good results and winning prizes. That is the task of the trainer and the players. ”

Koeman: ‘Don’t think Bartomeu’s departure will affect my position’

“I’m not nervous about that,” the trainer continues. “I am only concerned with my work. Until the elections, there will be candidates who will announce their plans. We will have to wait and see who will be the new chairman. ” Koeman seems to have to hope for the appointment of Toni Freixa, who has already announced that he wants the Dutch trainer to serve his contract. “I prefer not to respond to names that have applied. I’m here at the club to win awards. The most important thing at the moment is to win tomorrow (at 9 p.m. against Alavés, ed.). ”

In addition to Guardiola, Font would also like to give former star players Xavi, Andrès Iniesta and Carles Puyol a position within Barcelona. Jordi Cruijff late opposite Cadena SER know that Koeman does not have to fear for the time being. “If Koeman does well, he will not be replaced as head coach. Font has already said there are other features for people who think they can be important for today and tomorrow. “

Five candidates have now officially registered to participate in the presidential elections. Candidates must provide more than 2,257 signatures from allies, plus a deposit of 125 million euros. In addition to Font, Toni Freixa, Jordi Farré, Agustí Benedito and Lluís Fernández Alà are competing for the presidency. Four others, including former president Joan Laporta, are currently taking the final steps to also participate in the elections.
