Barcelona head coach Ronald Koeman calls for patience, refuses to take questions in press conference

Ronald Koeman's position has become more precarious in the last week following a 3-0 thrashing at home to Bayern Munich in the Champions League and Monday's surprise 1-1 draw at home to Granada in LaLiga,

Barcelona head coach Ronald Koeman refused to take questions in a brief news conference on Wednesday and instead read a statement saying the under-performing Spanish giants were in a period of transition and the process required patience.

Questions on Koeman's position have increased in recent weeks following an abysmal performance in a 3-0 defeat at home to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, followed by a 1-1 draw against lowly Granada in the Spanish league. The result left Barcelona with eight points in four games.
