Barcelona will appoint Holland boss Ronald Koeman as their new manager this week with Quique Setien set to be sacked after the club's humiliating 8-2 loss to Bayern.

Former Everton boss Koeman emerged as the Catalan side's key target in the wake of the Champions League quarter-final humbling, and the club plan to install him as the new man in the dugout this week after Setien's departure has been confirmed. 

Ex-Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino had also been touted as a possible candidate for the role despite vowing to never take over after managing rivals Espanyol, but now Koeman is set to take the side forward into a new era.
