Embattled Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman has defiantly stated “I don’t fear for my future†amid rampant rumour about his position.
Tuesday’s 3-0 thrashing by Bayern Munich reportedly led to detailed discussions about the 58-year-old’s future. This was the main topic of conversation prior to Monday’s visit of Granada in La Liga.
“There have been a lot of changes to the team, players are out injured and we’re playing a lot of youngsters,†Koeman stated when asked if he deserved more time.
“People who know that would surely say that we’re going through a change and that you need time, but what matters is winning games.
“There were questions before playing Bayern about renewing my contract. We lose 3-0 and now the questions are if I fear for my future – I don’t think it’s normal.
“We’re confident we can win games, there’s a long way to go. I know that results count.
“I don’t fear for my future. At the end of the day, the club and the president make the decisions.â€
