Barcelona president Laporta has his favourite among 6 names to replace Koeman

Barcelona president Joan Laporta is preparing to fire coach Ronald Koeman.

Koeman is fighting to keep his job after last night's disappointing 1-1 draw with Granada at the Nou Camp.

And speaking on his Twitch stream, RAC1's Gerard Romero reports Laporta already has six names on a shortlist of replacements should he be forced to sack his coach.

Phillip Cocu, Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa, Antonio Conte and Al Sadd's Xavi are all named, along with Ajax coach Erik ten Hag.

However, Romero claims the favourite for Laporta to succeed Koeman is former Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo.
