Barcelona defender Oscar Mingueza is happy coach Ronald Koeman is staying.

Mingueza is currently in Japan with Spain's Olympics squad.

Om Koeman, he told Sport: "Yes, I am delighted for him. We've had better and worse times throughout the year, but I think it was a good season. What we did from the halfway mark until the last four or five games was incredible."

On next season, he continued: "I'm really looking forward to it. I'm excited. I am convinced the new signings will add quality and I am sure with what we have and what's coming in we will have an incredible group of people and footballers."

Asked about captain Lionel Messi's contract situation, Mingueza added: "Of course you worry about if the best player in the world will stay or not, but that's to do with him and I don't think we should get involved. It's his decision and it's part of his privacy. But anything we can do to help keep him here, we will do."
