Barcelona's board are ready to stick with directors Eric Abidal and Ramon Planes.

There's been talk of Abidal being sacked in the aftermath of Quique Setien's axing on Monday night.

However, AS says Barca are standing by their sporting director and also team chief Planes.

A source stated both men will work "from consensus" with the new coach (who, although not official, will be Ronald Koeman) in the "extensive restructuring of the first team".

Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu wants Abidal and Planes to oversee new contract talks with particular players, including Lionel Messi.
