It's been ruled out that he can take over from Quique Setien

The chance that Patrick Kluivert could be in charge of Barcelona against Napoli, reported by one Catalan media source, is absolutely not on the table. Various sources have told SPORT that the option has not even been contemplated.

Kluivert has coached the Curacao national team and worked as an assistant to Van Gaal with Holland. Since 2014 he hasn't sat on any bench. He's been PSG's technical director and Barca's youth academy chief. "It's a joke in bad taste," a club source told SPORT.

The story claimed that the dressing room wanted Kluivert in charge. But the captains don't know anything about this. The idea at the moment is that Setien continues, but Barca are weighing up options like Blanc.
