Ronald Koeman admitted he is in the dark about his future after a 3-0 defeat by Benfica in the Champions League on Wednesday put his position as Barcelona coach in serious doubt.

Another heavy loss for Barca means they sit bottom of Group E, having lost back-to-back group games in the Champions League for the first time since 2000.

Barca boss Koeman

Barca face Atletico Madrid on Saturday in La Liga, with reports in the Catalan press indicating a board meeting will be held to decide if Koeman should be in charge.

"I feel supported by the players, by the attitude that they have, and the rest I don't know," said Koeman.

Koeman was asked again about his future in a press conference. "I can't say anything because I don't know what the club feels about this," he said. "I can't answer more questions about this because it's not in my hands. We'll see." Barcelona have won only one of their last five games in all competitions, a run that has also left them sitting sixth in La Liga.
