It’s been several weeks since José Mourinho has been a free agent. Indeed, the Portuguese coach is available after being sacked by Roma earlier, and Xavi Hernandez will leave Barça at the end of the season.
A Barcelona icon, Rivaldo has urged the club not to waste any time in appointing the famed coach as manager to replace Xavi.
In a recent interview with Mundo Deportivo, Rivaldo stated that Mourinho would be perfect for Barça.
“There are many fans who wouldn’t approve of coaches or players who have represented the rival (Real Madrid). However, José Mourinho has already been with Barcelona, and he’s a great person,” Rivaldo told Mundo Deportivo. “His intensity and controversies with his own supporters would be a concern from day one, but he’s a winner.
Given that he doesn’t have a club and the situation at Barcelona, it’s easier for him to reach out to the team now. I think he would have been an excellent signing, even if some fans don’t want to hear his name at the moment.
José Mourinho would undoubtedly do an excellent job; he knows the team, the Spanish League, the Champions League, and he has a lot of experience,” Rivaldo added.
