The 57-year-old had undergone surgery back in May of last year after experiencing chest pain, where it was revealed that the Barcelona boss had suffered from a mild heart attack.

Koeman Now Stable

The Dutch manager fell ill and underwent a cardiac catheterisation and had to undergo surgical intervention to be brought to a stable condition. This incident happened three months prior to when the 57pyear-old was appointed as the new Barcelona boss, replacing Quique Setien at the helm.

‘It’s true that when things like this happen to you, or when you have people by your side who have been sick, life changes a bit. After my heart attack, I think about things a little differently, probably. The opportunity to coach Barça was now or never. I am 57 years old, I have been a coach for many years, I don’t want to end up training at 70 either. The moment was now,’ said the current Barcelona manager in an interview.

Ronald Koeman’s team will take on Sevilla on Saturday in a La Liga 2020-21 encounter and the 57-year-old is expected to be available on the sidelines despite this health scare. Barcelona will be hoping to overtake the Andalusian side in the table and get back in the title race.
