De Jong hopes Koeman stays at Barcelona amid exit talk

The 24-year-old midfielder says he has a good bond with the Dutch coach and hopes he is still in charge next season

Frenkie de Jong hopes Ronald Koeman will stay at Barcelona amid reports the coach could leave this summer.

The Dutchman had a dissapointing debut season in charge of the Camp Nou club as they finished third in La Liga and were knocked out of the Champions League at the round of 16.

Koeman has a year left on his contract, but president Joan Laporta says they will meet next week to decide whether or not he will remain in his post.
