Barcelona coach Koeman: I'm not worried about my future

Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman insists he doesn't fear for his job ahead of meeting Granada.

It's been a difficult period for the club, but Koeman isn't worried about his job despite his side failing to convince on the pitch.

"I'm only thinking about the match and the team," he said.

"The rest is out of my hands. I'm relaxed and confident about winnings matches. We need to get some players back so we have more guys to choose from, but I know that we have to win. The results are what count.

"I'm not worried about my future. The club and the president will make the decisions".

Injuries have meant Barcelona are short for options in the left-back position, but Koeman isn't concerned.

"We have [Alejandro] Balde, who played well the other day with quality and energy," he assured the fans.

"We also have [Sergino] Dest and [Oscar] Mingueza, but I prefer a natural left-back. Balde is young and has to learn, but I'm not scared to start him."

He was also asked about how the fans' perceive what is going on at the club.

"I don't know what they're thinking," said the Dutchman.

"There will be realists, opportunists and some who are unhappy with the current situation."
