Barcelona president Joan Laporta insists coach Ronald Koeman can count on his full support.

Speaking with RAC1, Laporta says Koeman has his full confidence.

The president said: "When Koeman explained it to me, I understood it. We all have our ideal way of playing, but I can't discuss technical issues with professionals. I have always respected the professionals.

"It happened to me with (Frank) Rijkaard and with Pep (Guardiola). Sometimes I gave my opinions and I debated them with technical concepts. And he's the first one who wants to start winning. I think we would be unfair if we didn't give him this opportunity."
