Mido, who\u2019s worked under Dutch tactician and new Barca boss Ronald Koeman at Ajax believes the absence of big characters will help the latter\u2019s new regime to gain control at Camp Nou.<\/p>\n
Lionel Messi leaving Barca is \u201cthe best thing that could happen to Ronald Koeman\u201d, says Mido, with the new coach at Camp Nou considered to need big characters to depart in order to build his \u201cempire\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Blaugrana\u2019s new man in charge of the Liga giants has been piping hot about his desire to see a talismanic presence remain in the Nou Camp. However, Messi has seen it fit to serve his walking papers and move on, with<\/p>\n
the Argentine seeking a new challenge after becoming disillusioned with life on and off the pitch at the Liga giants.<\/p>\n
No move has been sanctioned as yet, despite strong links to Manchester City, with Paris Saint-Germain in hot pursuit, as further talks are due to be held between Messi\u2019s father and the under-fire Barca board.<\/p>\n
Mido believes Koeman will be open to the idea of the six-time Ballon d\u2019Or winner leaving his ranks, as the absence of Messi and his considerable influence will allow Barca\u2019s current coaching regime to stamp their authority on an out-of-sorts squad.<\/p>\n
