Koeman's Barcelona exit becoming an inevitable epilogue of the trophyless season

Although it was apparent two rounds before the end of La Liga that Barcelona's chances of endangering the Madrid duo in the race for the title are reduced solely to theory, yesterday's defeat of the Catalans by Celta (1-2) was a fresh wound. It's also an additional reason for already loud stories about the uncertain fate of Ronald Koeman.

Since the arrival of Joan Laporta, the Dutch tactician on thin ice recorded only one victory in the previous five rounds of the Primera.

According to the information of the Catalan RAC1, the Blaugrana boardroom is determined to end the cooperation with the current strategist after the end of the season.

The same source states that, despite the meeting held last Thursday at which both sides showed understanding and established an agreement, the Catalan club changed its perspective.

Laporta ​​did not have Koeman in his visions during the recent election campaign, and the primary name associated with the club was Xavi Hernandez, the current coach of Qatar's Al Sadd. However, after the results that indicated the awakening of Barcelona, ​​the management decided to give up the changes.

The fact that Barcelona does not have competitive challenges in front of it and that the reorganization of the playing staff will undoubtedly follow it led Laporta and his closest associates to think about a new coach.

Let us remind you, Barca welcomed yesterday's match with Celta with the imperative of victory to remain in the race for the championship laurels, but with the defeat, the race was reduced to two participants, and the last round will solve the dilemma of which of two Madrid clubs will ascend the throne.
