Koeman speaks for first time since Barcelona sacking

Sacked Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman has ducked questions about his future plans.

The Dutchman was fired by Barca president Joan Laporta while on their flight together back from defeat to Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday night.

Koeman, 58, was approached by AD for a reaction to his firing, but he was reluctant to speak.

"I don't speak to the press. I'm just going to take a good rest for a while now," he said.

The Dutchman's agent is now entering talks with Barca about a payoff for the remainder of his contract.
