Viva Barca
Everton manager Ronald Koeman dreams of coaching former club Barcelona but insists he is committed to the challenge of getting Everton into the Champions League first.
Barcelona are seeking a new coach with Luis Enrique leaving the club at the end of the season, and Koeman – who spent six years at Camp Nou as a player between 1989 and 1995 – is among several names being linked.
“Everyone knows that I am from Barca, they know my love for a club where I grew up as a player and as a person,” he told Catalan newspaper Sport.”
“In football, as in life, as in business, everything can be talked about and discussed.”
“In my life as a professional coach I have two dreams to fulfil. One, coach the selection of my country, Holland (he was previously assistant to Guus Hiddink for the 1998 World Cup)”
“My other wish, my other dream, is to one day coach Barca. That’s the truth.”
“I now owe to Everton. We have a very powerful and exciting project and we will reinforce our best to try to reach next season the Champions League.”
