The Egyptian and ex-Ajax and Tottenham player says that action should be taken by Koeman against Messi following his statement over Suárez's departure.
Former Egypt player and current TV presenter Ahmed Hossam Mido said that he is waiting for a reaction from Barcelona's mew manager Ronald Koeman to Messi's words over the exit of his teammate and close friend Luis Suarez from Camp Nou.
While saying goodbye to his good friend, Messi harshly criticised the way the club's board let go of their goal-scoring machine without considering his success at the club, adding that nothing surprises him anymore.
Mido: Koeman "Slaughtered" me
Mido who has been coached by Koeman during his days at Ajax posted a tweet on Friday that said "I am waiting for a response from Koeman to Messi's statement about Suárez. Koeman slaughtered me and asked for my departure when I spoke up and offered my opinion to the media about things related to the team, although I was just 18 years old back then".
The former international player added, "I definitely don't compare myself to Messi, but today's situation will prove something that I have been waiting for to be proven".
Koeman was Mido's coach during the period between 2001-2003 when the manager decided to send him to La Liga side Celta Vigo on loan as the manager and the player were not getting along well, before eventually selling him in 2003 to Olympique de Marseille.

If Koeman has been coaching since 2001 and we've heard or seen him win any major trophy then I think he's just a basic coach so let him stop acting like he is a Guadiola or a Mourinho

Are you kidding me ??? Football ain't about all this bs. I really wanna see Koeman fail and never coach again. I really wanna see messi leaving that team. and I really wanna see Suarez score against them. Barcelona ruined their respect by treating their legends like this. joke of a club

Messi expressed himself,especially with everything going on he is bitter about how Suarez was dismissed by a phone call. They were best friends also he is the 3rd highest scorer for Barcelona,he has given everything for Barca. So for a guy like Mido who is still thinking about something that happened years ago with the same coach he can't compare the two situation. I can tell you that most of Barca fans are not happy right now,it is a very sad to see Barca board tearing up what took tears to build,sorry guys hope this nightmare will end soon Props to Messi for speaking up and former Barcelona players as well

Not even guardiola or mourinho can now ask Messi to leave a club. Messi has grown beyond heights. He is bigger than a club. Messi can even join Leeds united and can win them the league. Koeman is a joker.

Everyone here is missing the point including Koeman and the board. The back four are the real issue. Very very poor defending in the 3 CL games. Can’t head, Canada tackle, can’t mark , worst still can’t think, all 4 not committed and look lost in these games.

what barca did with suarez...vidal...rakitic is best for club....back to back three ucl humilation is enough and enough....its time to change....nothing is permanent...not even messi.....players are temporary but the club is permanent👏👏
Yes I agree he should leave but it should have been in a honorary way not just a coach’s phone call that he is surplus and terminating his contract he should have been told in a more polite way to find a new club and he should be sold honorarily and moreso don’t forget Vidal was our best midfielder since he came,Suarez till now we didn’t have his replacement yet these are the two people we sold and busquet is in the team,Alba was poor than shiit,Roberto,pique and many more were home grown players so they can’t be surplus right? There are some kind of bias options there but in everything Barca is Barca and we love them but we need reinforcement nothing is wrong with attack but the defense should stop conceding imagine the defense that conceded 8 still nothin was changed from the defense
