Koeman takes aim at Barca hierarchy as pressure increases

Barca, who take on Atletico Madrid in LaLiga on Saturday, have won just one of their last five games in all competitions, leading local media to report Koeman is on borrowed time with a host of names being touted to replace him.

Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman said he was in the dark about his future and had not spoken to the club's president as the under-pressure Dutchman took a swipe at the club's hierarchy on Friday.

Barca, who take on Atletico Madrid in LaLiga on Saturday, have won just one of their last five games in all competitions, leading local media to report Koeman is on borrowed time with a host of names being touted to replace him.

While Koeman stopped short of directly criticising the president, it was clear he was not impressed with the situation.

"There's no need for me to answer (if I think I've been disrespected)," Koeman told a news conference.

"Once again the club have said nothing to me. I've found out the president was here this morning, but not seen him. I have ears and eyes and I know a lot of things are leaked, I imagine they're true, but once again I've not been told anything."

He joins Jordi Alba, Sergio Aguero, Ousmane Dembele and Martin Braithwaite on the sidelines.
