Former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola says it’s “good news” that Ronald Koeman is staying in charge of the Catalan giants after the Dutchman’s continuity was confirmed last week.
President Joan Laporta announced on Thursday that Koeman would stay on for a second season at the Camp Nou, and Guardiola thinks the 58-year-old may have a better campaign in 2021-22.
“It’s good news that Koeman will continue. At many times, Barcelona have played the best football in Spain - and the second seasons are usually better.
“Koeman is their ideal coach for next season, I’m very happy and the president is convinced.
