Incoming Barcelona sporting director Jordi Cruyff says he'd never consider replacing coach Ronald Koeman.

Cruyff takes charge at Barca from August 1.

He told Marca: "The idea of replacing Koeman has not even crossed my mind, and it's not something that I plan on doing. I've known Ronald for nearly 30 years and he knows that he can count on me for help.

"Barça have approached me various times over the last four or five years for different positions, but I was always under contract and I wanted to honour my agreement."

The son of Johan Cruyff, Jordi is a former Barca striker.
