Frank De Boer has said Ronald Koeman deserves the Barcelona job and that it is the Everton manager's dream to take charge at the Camp Nou.
Koeman, who played down links with Barcelona job last week, won a European Cup and four La Liga titles with the club during a distinguished playing career.
And with uncertainty over Luis Enrique's future, De Boer believes Koeman is a candidate worthy of the position.
"Normally I think he is [at clubs] for the long term but maybe in his contract if he gets a call from Barcelona then he can go because that is always his dream," De Boer said.
