Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman does not think that he has taken charge of the Catalan giants for the final time.

Ronald Koeman does not think that he has managed Barcelona for the final time amid increasing speculation surrounding his future.

La Blaugrana's Champions League and La Liga title dreams both ended in tatters this term, although Koeman did at least manage to steer them to a Copa del Rey triumph during his first season in charge.

Koeman is set to hold crunch talks with president Joan Laporta regarding his future in the coming days, but he hit out at the Barca chief for a perceived lack of respect earlier this week.

Nevertheless, the 58-year-old remains under the impression that he will be in control of the reins beyond the summer, telling reporters: "I don't think this is my last game. I have a contract.

"I don't know, but you [all] talk about it a lot. I'm calm. If the club want to make a change, then they have to talk to me."

Barcelona secured a third-placed finish in La Liga with a 1-0 triumph over Eibar on Saturday, during which Antoine Griezmann scored a late winner against the league's basement side.

Should Koeman be relieved of his duties by Laporta, legendary midfielder Xavi is believed to be the frontrunner to enter the dugout at Camp Nou. body check tags ::
