'Koeman will be Barcelona coach' - Bartomeu confirms imminent hiring of Dutch boss

The club will turn to the former defender in the wake of an embarrassing Champions League defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has confirmed that Ronald Koeman will be named the club's next head coach.

Koeman will be brought in to replace Quique Setien after the Spanish boss was dismissed in the aftermath of Barca's 8-2 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Setien's tenure also coincided with a trophy-less campaign for Barca, with the club falling short in the Copa del Rey while also conceding the Liga title to rivals Real Madrid.
