Laporta probes Rijkaard as a replacement for Xavi

There is no time to lose. Every day that passes brings Ftbol Club Barcelona closer to having to appoint a new coach to its bench. Xavi announced that, as of summer, he would no longer be coach of the team. This opens a casting of candidates that brings together names from all leagues and countries.

However, few had a memory as pleasant as the one left by the coach who won the second European Cup for Bara. David Sánchez has given on Radio MARCA the news that Laporta has remembered the Dutchman. According to the presenter of ‘Despierta San Francisco’, the Barça coach has contacted whoever was the coach of the Catalan team between 2003 and 2008.

Laporta has extended his hand to Rijkaard for his return. However, it will not be easy for this to happen. Initially, Frank has no intention of training once more. The one from Amsterdam left the bench in 2014 and the few appearances he has are related to his hospitality businesses.

David Sánchez says that Rijkaard has not closed the door completely. Laporta still has not lost hope for the return of the coach who made him European champion. The president even raised the possibility that Marco Van Basten was his second coach.
