It appears as though Jose Mourinho has finally decided upon his next club and he will replace Roberto Mancini as the new coach of Inter Milan.
Barca certainly have been closely linked to Mourinho and he has been in negotiations with the club but no deal was made. He has talked about wanting to go to a club which really wants him and will give him all the power he needs and it looks as though Barca were not prepared to do that or at least they were not ready to make a commitment until the end of the season.
Rijkaard is more than likely to leave Barca at the end of the season and there is a good chance that it will be his own choice and he will not be pushed. Of course though the club cannot arrange for a new coach though at the moment because if Rijkaard does win the Champions League then he has to be given the chance to stay.
The debate is open on how good a coach Mourinho would be for Barcelona in any case as he has always shown a preference for defensive football whether at Porto or Chelsea. At Chelsea he had money and top players and still preferred a defensive approach so maybe he is better suited to Italian football.

Greetings to all bacca fans..I think frank should continue with bacca.But need to get some solid defenders like daniel av of sevi,lucho of fc poto and any other defender that will be ok cos that is the problem of bacca now.
