Rayo Vallecano's 1-0 defeat over Barça could have been Koeman's nail in the coffin. The Dutch manager, who was strongly supported by Laporta when the team was on a results crisis, could have managed his last game as Barcelona's coach.
'Cadena COPE' and 'Cadena SER' report that after the defeat, certain conversations were overheard in Rayo's VIP area. These conversations suggested that Koeman's time was over at the club.
The Dutch manager won't be sacked on Wednesday, but his future could be announced in the next couple hours.
Helena Condis, a journalist for 'COPE', confirmed that many Barcelona executives believe Koeman's time is over. They consider the team hit rock bottom and something needs to be done to change that negative dynamic the team has.
Following Rayo's defeat, Barcelona is far away from the title and European competition spots.
