Ronald Koeman, strongly tipped to be the new Barcelona boss, says he would like the job but that nothing has been finalised yet.
The 57-year-old, who is manager of the Netherlands, is set to join the La Liga runners-up this week.
Koeman played for the Catalan giants between 1989 and 1995, helping the club to four league titles and the European Cup.
Barcelona parted company with sporting director Eric Abidal on Tuesday, one day after relieving head coach Quique Setien of his duties.
The dismissals come after the club’s humiliating 8-2 defeat by Bayern Munich in the Champions League last eight on Friday.
