Ronald Koeman needs Everton legacy for Barcelona to come calling

Last weekend, Everton manager Ronald Koeman was asked a question that has lingered for a long time. Does his status as a legendary Barcelona player mean he'll end up there as coach? Koeman first dismissed the issue, before then feeding the speculation a little, creating some mixed messages.

"No, no, no, no," the 53-year-old said. "No. I don't think so... Everyone knows I have a relationship with Barcelona. Everyone says: 'One day Koeman will be the coach in Barcelona'... but now I'm more experienced. You cannot plan what is going to happen. In life, everything is possible.
