Barcelona fire Koeman; Xavi eyed as top pick, sources say

Clubs

Barcelona have fired coach Ronald Koeman following Wednesday’s 1-0 LaLiga defeat to Rayo Vallecano as the club suffered their third loss in their last four league games.

Koeman’s position had been seriously weakened after poor results before the October international break, with back-to-back defeats against Real Madrid and Rayo this week proving the tipping point.

Barca sit in ninth place in LaLiga on 15 points, and are next in action against Deportivo Alaves at home on Saturday.
