Guardiola takes Rijkaard's job at Barca
Frank Rijkaard will leave Barcelona at the end of the season, as revealed in Tuesday's Independent, leaving a former club captain, Pep Guardiola, to take over as coach, the club president Joan Laporta announced yesterday. The former Netherlands international, whose contract was due to run for another year, took charge of Barça in 2003 and led them to consecutive titles and victory in the Champions League in 2006. However, his side has failed to win any silverware for the past two seasons and suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat by their arch-rivals Real Madrid on Wednesday night.
