Holland coach Ronald Koeman has already identified his assistant coach for Barcelona.

Barca are in talks with the Dutch federation about releasing Koeman from his contract. After axing Quique Setien on Monday evening, Barca want to install Koeman as new coach.

And Koeman plans to take Alfred Schreuder with him to the Nou Camp as his No2.

Voetbal International says Schreuder can immediately take up a post after leaving TSG Hoffenheim in June. He had acted as head coach after previously being No2 to former TSG coaches Julian Nagelsmann and Huub Stevens.

Koeman is expected to be named Barca coach before the weekend.
