Ronald Koeman knows he's a dead man walking at Barcelona, it has been revealed.

TV3 says during his meeting with Barca president Joan Laporta, Koeman was informed a new coach was being sought.

Vice president Rafa Yuste and football director Mateu Alemany were both present, along with Koeman's agent Rob Jansen.

And during the meeting, Laporta told Koeman they were seeking to replace him and planned to have the new coach appointed within 15 days.

If no appointment is made, then Koeman would be supported to fulfill the final year of his current Barca contract.
