The former Barcelona coach commented on his dismissal last October: "The president told me that Xavi is unbelievable because he has no experience. It is clear that they did not give me enough time. Strange that they signed a player for 55 million euros shortly after they let Messi go."


Ronald Koeman opens his mouth.

The Barcelona ex, who stood on Barcelona's lines at the Camp Nou until October 2012 when he was sent home, referred this morning (Thursday) to his dismissal from the Catalan club and on the way also lamented the conduct of President Juan Laporta, who he claimed did not provide him enough credit.

"It still hurts me because Barcelona did not give me as much time as Xavi. Laporta told me countless times that Xavi would not coach him because he has no experience. It is quite clear that I was not Laporta's coach. I had such a feeling from the first moment, after "The election simply did not click. I lacked the necessary support from above. I can not pretend that nothing happened with this president."

The injured coach further revealed: "When I stood on the lines, I always got the feeling that Laporta wanted to get rid of me. Money was not important to me. I know I was not his coach."

"Money really did not matter to me, I just wanted to continue to be successful as a Barcelona coach," the Dutchman continued, "I had to deal with a lot of injured. Now Pedry is back in shape, and Dembele. Every coach needs time and patience from management. At the beginning of the season, "But when you see a player signing for 55 million euros shortly after they let Messi go, it makes you wonder what's going on here and whether Messi really should have left Barcelona."
