After the news broke earlier this week that Chelsea is interested in signing Barcelona manager Frank Rijkaard (45) in substitution of coach Avram Grant (read more here), British newspaper The Guardian claims today that the interest for a future cooperation comes from both sides.
The tabloid says a source close to Rijkaard confirmed that the Dutchman would consider a move to Chelsea at the end of the season instead of taking a one year sabbatical after five years at Barcelona, like he originally had planned. The source is quoted as saying: “Frank is leaving Barcelona at the end of the season, that has always been the plan. The only thing that could change his mind is if they win the title or the European Cup again.”

His brother already denied the rumour. I'm curious who will be the manager in which club next year. Mourinho will step in, so at least one big shot will be out somewhere...
