Ronald Koeman, who was recently sacked as Barcelona manager, has said he will take a “good rest for a while.”
The Dutchman was fired on the flight back home by Barca president Joan Laporta, following a 1-0 defeat to Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday night.
Koeman was approached by AD for a reaction to his dismissal, but he was reluctant to give much away
“I don’t speak to the press. I’m just going to take a good rest for a while now,” the 58-year-old said.
Koeman’s agent is now entering talks with the LaLiga about a payoff for the remainder of his contract.
Xavi Hernandez is believed to be Barca’s top choice to replace him at the Camp Nou.
