Rijkaard denies he is to move to Milan in Summer

Frank Rijkaard has once again denied reports in Spain, that he is to quit Barca to take over at Milan.

After Eto'o showed up Barca player's unrest, I think it would be better until Rijkaard proves himself and his player skills before coming to Milan.
I think it would also be foolish to hire a coach on the basis that he was a legend for us as a player. That should not even come into the equation, in my opinion.

I don't know whether he will be at Milan next year but It looks more and more likely that he will be Milan's next coach, when carlo leaves, with probably Tassotti as his assistant given that he knows the squad inside out and would make the transition much smoother.

At this stage Berlusconi would probably sell his own grandmother if it meant he'd have a better chance of getting Ronaldinho. So if he thinks there's even the slightest of chances getting Rijkaard will increase the likelihood of seeing Ronaldinho in our shirt, you can be certain Berlusconi will be ready to exploit it.

I also read that Rijkaard doesn't reject Milan's opportunity. Lets talk how Rijkaard would look like. An offensive coach whereas we have a defensive one. I don't know the thing i know is that in summer we need a great refreshment.

An Italian(?) from another forum is almost 100% certain that Rijkaard will be our coach next season. Let's wait and see...I really have no problem with him.

I Will Be Very Glad if we can bring Rijkaard to Milan, I prefer him than Ancelotti

whatever it is, ancelotti cycle in Milan should end. It's not I hate him but we need to refresh.
I would welcome Rijkaard anytime!

To be very honest, I am not a very big fan for Rijkaard as a coach. To me, signing either Ronaldinho or Eto'o should be the priority when we try to take someone from Barcelona. Since the bust up between those two seem unlikely to be resolved, one of them would have to leave. I would be happy to see either one of them wearing Milan jersey. Especially Eto'o, he is the perfect replacement for Shevchenko. The transition is going to be like when George Weah took over from Van Basten as our primary striker.

As for Rijkaard, it shouldnt surprise anyone that he is denying all those rumors. I think he definitely will leave at the end of the season based on the dissatisfaction about the way Laporta is running the club. At this point, however, he has to keep his team together by saying he isn't leaving until the end of the season. Just like Shevchenko, he never talked about leaving us during the entire year last season but decided to sign with Chelsea as soon as the season was over. I am not so sure Rijkaard is the right coach for this team. He has shown the ability to utilize superstars, but not a lot more than that. Marcelo Lippi is a much better tactician than Rijkaard and has a lot more experience with Italian's style of management.
