Barcelona president Joan Laporta and his board have decided to stick with coach Ronald Koeman.

Koeman's future appeared untenable after last night's Champions League defeat at Benfica.

Barca's board are meeting today to consider their options, though El Chiringuito says Laporta and his directors have agreed not to act.

Instead, it's expected Koeman will be granted the chance to lead the team against Atletico Madrid this weekend.

However, a heavy defeat is likely to see Koeman dumped during the international recess next week.
