Barcelona have sacked first-team coach Ronald Koeman following their latest defeat to Rayo Vallecano.
The 58-year-old was already under pressure after his side lost to Real Madrid at the weekend and this latest reverse – their fourth in their last six matches – proved the final straw for the board.
Barca currently sit six points off LaLiga leaders Real Madrid in ninth place.
«FC Barcelona has relieved Ronald Koeman of his duties as first-team coach,» an official club statement read following a fifth loss in all competitions this term.
«The president of the club, Joan Laporta, informed him of the decision after the defeat against Rayo Vallecano. Ronald Koeman will say goodbye to the squad on Thursday at the Ciutat Esportiva.
«FC Barcelona wishes to thank him for his service to the club and wishes him all the best in his professional career.»

Slecht trainer en slecht mens . Solliciteert altijd en wordt ontslagen zonder schaamte .. hij zet Barcelona boven Nederland, vreselijker kan niet ?
If the players miss the changes, you can't blame Ronald Koeman. If you know how Dutch people are then you will understand why this man is a Legend, HE ALREADY DID THE MOST WORK XAVI WILL ONLY FINISH
Taxi!
I cannot believe eaven in his last hour hi still wont take the blame.
He is not our problem but the team in general
Koeman was a meanstream player and a meanstream trainer (playing at Barca he was only ''one of the players'' Helping his Dutch friends to a good job…in Barca he was led by blinded personal networking , not by logics or loyalty to Barca.. Memphis depay had never been a top player at all…. only playing at Barca cause of his frienship to Koeman… Both not worth
Barca will keep complaining
Same excuses everytime.
Precisamos bons jogadores e bom treinador
Talking about injuries again…? He always has excuses… Leave the club…
Mr Man pack your loads always has an excuses
Good news koeman isn't a coach no idea no plan no styles
