Everton's Koeman could be Enrique successor at Barcelona
Radio Catalunya journalist Ernest Macia says Barcelona have lost their DNA and become a more 'British' team under Luis Enrique.
Enrique, who is in his third season at the helm, announced on Wednesday he will step down at the end of the season, saying he needs to "rest".
Macia speculated that Everton's Ronald Koeman, a former Barcelona player, could be seen as a short-term option to replace Enrique, with recently departed club legend Xavi a likely choice in the future.
"Xavi would be the ideal coach but he is playing in Qatar and would probably need three or four more years [before taking the job]."
