BOMBSHELL! KOEMAN CAN’T HANDLE BARCA AT OFFICIAL GAMES
Although Dutchman, Ronald Koeman has handled the ‘new’ Barcelona in two friendly matches in the past few days, his activities are still limited to such.
According to Football Espana, he cannot yet sit on the club’s bench for official games as the club has not yet agreed a compensation package with former coach, Quique Setien.
It was revealed late in August that the Blaugrana had still not sacked Setien through official channels and he had even sent them a burofax – a document with legal standing – to prompt the official paperwork.
However, Setien and the Catalan giants have not yet settled on an agreement as he wants to be paid for the full final year of his contract – so the Spanish FA cannot officially name anyone as new Barca boss, as outlined by another Spanish publication, Cadena Cope.
