Barca deny Rijkaard exit
Barcelona have denied reports coach Frank Rijkaard will leave the Nou Camp at the end of the season.
A local television station yesterday claimed former Barca midfielder Josep Guardiola, the current coach of the club’s B side, would replace Rijkaard in the summer.
But an official statement on www.fcbarcelona.com read: “FC Barcelona emphatically denies that a decision has been taken to replace the football coach, Frank Rijkaard, for next season.
“The Dutch manager has a contract until the 2009 season and the board of directors has complete confidence in him.”
