In the early morning of October 28, Beijing time, Barca officials announced that Coman was dismissed. It has to be said that Barcelona coach Koeman may be the most distressing red and blue manager in the past 10 years, and the Dutchman can be described as loyal and courageous. At the beginning, Koeman gave up the opportunity to go to the peak of coaching in the Orange Army, chose to return to his old club who was in a low point, and finally left camp Nou with "a bunch of pots" on his back.
Koeman's coaching career was far less exciting than his player years, and in the 1992 Champions League final, Koeman scored a heavy cannon goal to help the Rossandrches win the first Champions League title in the team's history, and in Euro 1988, Koeman followed the Netherlands to win the Delaunay Cup. But as a coach, Koeman spent most of his time in the Dutch or Turkish leagues. As for the real big five league teams, Coman has only coached Valencia, Southampton, Everton and Barca, but the record is lackluster.
In 2018, Koeman ushered in the turning point of his coaching career, the Dutch national team that did not participate in the national competition for two consecutive years was reborn under Koeman, the Dutch coach completed a major change of new and old, and broke through in the group with France and Germany in the Death of the European Nations League, although it lost to Portugal in the Europa League final, but the youth vitality of the Dutch team was unanimously recognized, and the Orange Army was once regarded as the favorite to win the European Championship.
In 2020, at the peak of his coaching career, Koeman received an invitation from Barca, and the Dutchman's choice was to give up the opportunity to approach glory, believing that he could regroup and lead the fragmented Barca out of the trough. After Koeman gave up the national team to coach Barca, De Boer took office as manager of the Oranges, but his inexperience and lack of strength became the biggest weakness of the Dutch team. In Euro 2020, the Netherlands are undoubtedly the biggest winners in the group stage draw, and the other opponents in their group who sit at home are weaker, and the Oranges have also locked up the qualifying place early. However, in the first round of the knockout round, they lost 0-2 to the Czech Republic, folded in the round of 16, and the orange-clad army, which had been cultivated for 7 years, was once again eclipsed. After being eliminated and returning home, the Dutch Football Association officially announced de Boll's departure, and he also became the first person to leave the class among the 24 teams in the Final Round of Euro 2020. It can be said that Koeman's departure led to an early exit of the Dutch team at the European Championship to a certain extent.
On the other hand, after returning to Barca, Koeman did not think of restricting his own objective conditions too much, especially Barça's financial resources were empty, and the Red and Blue Corps directly gave Koeman a bad hand before the start of the game. Former Barca president Bartomeu, although not strong in governance, is very good at drawing big cakes, perhaps brainwashed by Bartomeu, and Koman's biggest controversy last summer was to become the executor of Bartomeu's will, a phone call to inform Suarez to leave. The years of glory of the Red and Blue Legion did not even get a chance to talk with the high level, and Suarez cried bitterly when he said goodbye. The Barça dressing room unanimously sided with Su Shen, accusing the Barça executives of being too ruthless.
Perhaps Koeman was shocked after Suarez left the team, and Messi almost terminated his contract with Barca after Su Shen left the team and left Camp Nou. Barca executives are trying to put out the fire for Messi's departure, and they have no intention of paying attention to Koeman's request for reinforcements, the Dutch just want a Depay, but Barca responds with the words "no money".
Barca, who built the team "no money", threw the pot of bad results to Koeman, and the Dutchman staggered with the age gap barca in the new season, losing two consecutive defeats in the Champions League, 6 points behind Real Madrid in the league, and only 9th away from the relegation zone. Although Messi's departure has had a huge impact on the Red and Blue, after Ronaldo left the Bernabeu in 2018, Real Madrid's downward trend has not been so tragic.
In the eyes of the players, Koeman has become the "thug" of the Barça executive's fainting instructions, and in the eyes of the Barça executives, Koeman's incompetence is the key reason for the team's lows. Perhaps all Koeman has left for the history of Barca is the word "loyalty"! In the face of the call of the old owner, he still chose to go home; in the face of the broken mess, he had to take it.
Perhaps Barca should no longer be superstitious about the so-called technical and tactical pedigree and feelings when choosing a coach. Coming from the Dutch football system, Koeman has coached at clubs such as Ajax and Eindhoven that are closely linked to Barca's football tradition, but should the Ross and Blues reflect on the so-called glorious traditions and adapt to today's football environment? Zidane is also a hero in Real Madrid's history, achieving extraordinary results in both the player and the coaching stages, but the Frenchman's tactics are not static. It can only be said that not everyone is Zidane.
