The Blaugrana defender says there was "no atmosphere" in the dressing room under the Dutchman, but he expects Xavi to have an instant impact.

Oscar Mingueza has admitted that the Barcelona squad "stopped trusting" Ronald Koeman towards the end of his reign at Camp Nou.

Koeman's 14-month tenure came to an end following a 1-0 loss to Rayo Vallecano last month, with that result all but ending Barca's chances in the Liga title race.

The Dutchman failed to steady the ship after turbulent summer that saw the likes of Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann leave the club, and Mingueza says he also lost the faith of his dressing room.
