BARCELONA (Reuters) - Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman said he has been mistreated by the media after the team's poor run of results that has all but put them out of contention in the Spanish title race, adding that he wanted to stay in charge next season if the club want him to.

The Catalans practically surrendered their chances of catching La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid after drawing 3-3 at Levante on Tuesday and trail them by four points with two games left.

"We won the Copa del Rey, we cut the gap with Atletico down by 12 points to fight for the title, but then if you look at the press coverage in the last few days it seems as if I've done a bad job," Koeman told a news conference on Saturday.Koeman has another year left on his Barca contract and said he would discuss his future with club president Joan Laporta later this month."It's very important for a coach to work in a club where he has absolute confidence.

His side took only 14 points from their opening 10 games but staged an impressive turnaround to haul themselves back into the title race.
