Ronald Koeman blasts Barcelona’s Joan Laporta: ‘Club legends mean nothing to this board’

Ronald Koeman has not been shy about letting his feelings be known ever since he was dismissed as Barcelona manager in late 2021, but his latest comments on president Joan Laporta might be the most explosive yet.

Speaking at an event for his foundation, the former Barça defender and coach and current Netherlands manager was asked about the Blaugrana’s chase of Nico Williams, who appears to be Barça’s number one target in the transfer market.

Instead of focusing only on Nico’s qualities, Koeman used the question as an opportunity to go after Laporta in no uncertain terms.
