EIBAR (Reuters) - Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman said he did not believe that Saturday's 1-0 victory over Eibar would be his last game in charge of the club, adding that he wanted to build a better squad more befitting of it.

Koeman, who was appointed by former club president Josep Bartomeu last summer, led his side to the Copa del Rey crown this season, but finished a disappointing third in La Liga and was eliminated in the last 16 of the Champions League.
