Jordi Cruyff has come out in support of Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman, resoundingly rejecting the idea of replacing the under-fire Dutchman.
Cruyff, son of club legend Johan, represented Barcelona and Manchester United in his playing days and was named sporting advisor for the Spanish giants in June.
And the 47-year-old told Sport that despite Koeman's underwhelming first season in charge, his 'principles' meant he would not get rid of the former Everton boss.
