Rivaldo, the former great Barcelona player, believes he knows who would be the best coach to ensure Xavi's continuation at the Camp Nou.
Rivaldo, one of the icons of FC Barcelona, believes that José Mourinho would be the ideal technician to replace Xavi on the Blaugrana bench.
Mourinho is available after his dismissal by Roma at the start of the season. He can therefore apply for Xavi's succession, especially since it is a position he has always dreamed of. In 2007, he was even close to arriving at Camp Nou.
The coach Barça fans 'don't want to hear about'
“There are a lot of fans who don't approve of the coaches or players who represented the rival (Real Madrid), but Mourinho has already been to Barcelona and he is a great person”Rivaldo told Mundo Deportivo.
“His exuberance and the fact that he clashes with his own supporters would be a concern from day one, but he's a winner, went on to win the 1999 Ballon d'Or. If we take into account the fact that he doesn't have a club and the situation at Barcelona, it is easier for him to join the team now. And I think he would have been a great choice, even if some fans don't want to hear his name.”
“He knows the team, the Spanish championship, the Champions League and he has a lot of experience,” the Brazilian recalled in conclusion.
