Koeman's position is fragile, after Barca followed up a 3-0 defeat by Bayern Munich in the Champions League last week with a 1-1 draw at home to Granada in La Liga, with the team's tactics and style coming under scrutiny. In his press conference, Koeman sat down and was introduced by the club's press officer, who said the Dutchman wanted to read a short statement.
Reading from a piece of paper, Koeman said: "Hello everyone. The club with me as coach is in a situation of rebuilding. "The financial situation of the club is connected to the sporting activities and vice-versa. This means we as a team have to rebuild the team without being able to make any big financial investments. This needs time."
