A Barcelona legend has called on the club to hire Jose Mourinho as the next manager to replace Xavi Hernandez, who is about to leave the club. He insists that he should not be overlook just because of his history as manager of Real Madrid.
Mourinho, a two-time Champions League winner, is looking for a new job after being sack by Roma in January. After leading the team to win 1 out of 6 games, with Daniele de Rossi replacing him.
Barcelona are still searching for a new head coach after Xavi will leave this summer.
The Catalan giants’ only hope of winning silverware this season is La Liga, and that looks very difficult. They are 8 points behind Real Madrid with only 7 games remaining.
Considering Mourinho’s success, club legend Rivaldo believes he would be a great signing at Camp Nou as he praises his trophy-winning record, calling him ‘a win’
“There are a lot of fans who do not accept players or coaches who have played or coached their rival teams,” Rivaldo said.
“Definitely his intensity as a coach. and sometimes arguing with fans His may have been a concern from the beginning. But he is a winner.”
“Considering that he doesn’t have a club and the situation at Barcelona, in my opinion It’s easier for him to join than Guardiola at the moment and I think it would be a great signing for Barcelona, even if some fans don’t like it.”
“There is no doubt he will do a good job, he knows the team, he knows the Spanish league. Get to know the Champions League and have a lot of experience.”
