Koeman, who has been in charge of the Netherlands since 2018, replaces Quique Setien who was sacked after Barca were knocked out of the Champions League quarter-finals in a 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich on Friday.
According to reports Koeman and his agent were negotiating a two-year contract late on Monday, with the second year dependent on the outcome of the presidential elections.
“Koeman will be Barca’s coach next season,” Bartomeu told the side’s television channel.
“If everything goes OK, Koeman will be the coach we announce and will guide this team and the players with a different project.
“It’s someone the supporters know well, not just as a player but also as a coach.”
Koeman is a hero at Barca after starring for them as a player under Johan Cruyff and scoring the winning goal in the 1992 European Cup final — the Catalan club’s first ever success in Europe’s top club competition.
