BARCELONA (Reuters) - Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman has called Valencia a difficult club to manage as he prepares to face his former team for the first time since ending a tumultuous spell in charge in 2008.

The Dutchman's time at Valencia was arguably his worst period in a long coaching career, witnessing a dressing room revolt, fan protests and a string of terrible results which led to him being sacked with the team on the brink of relegation.

"It was a short stay, but at least we managed to win the Cup. Valencia is a difficult place, they have had a lot of changes in the last 15 years and it's not a peaceful environment in which to work." Valencia are in mid-table with 14 points from 13 games this season but have managed to beat champions Real Madrid as well as early pacesetters Real Sociedad.
