„Southampton“ strategist Ronald Koeman admits that one day he would like to take over his former club „Barcelona“, but suggests that he would not refuse a job at „Manchester City“.
As a player with the Catalan team, the Dutchman won four „La Liga“ titles and the UEFA Champions League.
This season, Koeman is constantly praised because his players are fighting for a place in the top four of the „Premier“ League, even though in the summer four important players left the team: Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren, and Luke Shaw.
Meanwhile, current „Man City“ coach Manuel Pellegrini is under pressure, as the team is likely to lose the battle for the English champion title to London's „Chelsea“, and their performance in the UEFA Champions League is also not the best, as in order to reach the quarterfinals, they will have to score at least twice against „Barcelona“ at their stadium.
„The whole world knows what „Barcelona“ means to me and what I mean to them, so if one day I could become the coach of „Barcelona“, I would be delighted“, - the „Saints“ coach said on the radio station Cadena COPE.
When asked about „City“, the Dutchman added: „Football director Txiki (Begiristain, - ed. note) is my friend. I have a good relationship with him and he has my phone number.“
