Looks like Barcelona could have a new manager for next season the way things are going. Today Barca announced an official vote of confidence for Rijkaard which will protect him until the end of the season but it looks like that no trophy will mean no Rijkaard next season.
Who do you think Barca will go for to be their next coach for next season and who do you think would be best for the job?
Here are the candidates mentioned recently....
Quote:
|
Jose Mourinho - We all know Jose, he used to be a translator at Barcelona before he got ideas above his station and wanted to be a manager.
|
Quote:
Michael Laudrup - Used to play for Barca before he back stabbed us and left for Real Madrid on a free transfer. Most Barca fans seem to have forgiven him but not me  . He's got crappy Getafe to another Copa Final and a UEFA Cup Quarter Final so he's doing quite well in his first proper season in charge.

Rafa Benitez - The fat controller used to coach Valencia to great success so has the Spanish league know how. Rumoured to be the President's no.1 choice.

Quote:

Marcelo Lippi - Free Agent, World Champion, European Champion and has declared interest in the Barca job. Knows how to make a team defend and can control ego's.

Quote:

Manuel Pellegrini - Created a revolution at Villarreal turning them from relegation candidates to title challengers in 4 seasons. Also had the balls to drop Riquelme so should be able to handle the stars at Barca, also plays good passing football and knows Spanish football

Laurent Blanc - er.....you sure?.....He's being linked as he's done well with Bordeaux in getting them up to second in Ligue 1.

Quote:

Ernesto Valverde - Got Espanyol to a UEFA Cup final. His teams are known to be hard working, problem is he's the Espanyol manager.
|
Quote:
|
Pep Guardiola - Currently the Barca B team boss, proven not much so far other than he likes the Barca 4-3-3.
