Frank Rijkaard, sad fall from the top
I just read this great man is now doing the lowly role of player development at a Florida prep school. Now thats a sick joke for a man who has achieved what he did at Barcelona. Meanwhile people like Pulis go through the revolving door of EPL management
Rijkaard single hnadedly resurrected and made Barcelona fashionable again. Surely the the team cojldnhave created a role for him to save him this fate

Without knowing his circumstances, I would speculate that the man could/can get a job coaching a top team somewhere in Europe if that is what he wants to do.
Stop crying about his fate...after all, some ex footballers are homeless, drug addicts of alcoholics (Gazza), while a former German WC winner is reportedly washing toilets for a living.

Re: Frank Rijkaard, sad fall from the top
He managed FC Barcelona to the UCL yet no club want to take him because he is black. Simple as that.

but why didnt any African nations fancy try him out, sometimes we are our own worst enemies
by the way Barca i think is on the way to permanent decline, they have just been banned from transfers in 2015 and they look significantly weaker
Re: Frank Rijkaard, sad fall from the top
He's doing what he wants!
After barca, he coached galatasaray and saudi arabia for good money and after this my understanding is he got gassed and tired of footie ala Pep Guardiola.

Re: Frank Rijkaard, sad fall from the top
Rijkaard is doing what he wants. He is probably not hurting for money and he is in freaking, sunny, sunkist Florida. When Europeans get to Florida, they never want to leave. It is like they have discovered El Dorado.

Re: Frank Rijkaard, sad fall from the top
How do you know? It is not always about money and status but personal happiness, especially for someone who has been there and done that. He probably does not need to work again for the rest of his life, if he has invested his earnings well from previous top jobs.Samora Moises Machel wrote:I obviously dont know Rijkaaard personally but I seriously doubt this is what he wants do.

So now other things may be of more value to him like doing what he actually enjoys doing in a place he likes to live. Maybe he always wanted to live in the USA and this job provides the perfect location as well as doing something he enjoys doing in a low stress environment. With his credentials I'm sure he could get a higher profile job if he wanted.

Re: Frank Rijkaard, sad fall from the top
Florida Prep School? He needs to be flogged, he can buy an MLS team their, he is just blocking others from a job.
I remember a story about an Oyinbo guy teaching English in China then because he watches football, the rich parents also asked to coach their kids football, then he ws asked does he play footie he said hell no but the money was good.
Rijkaard needs to move uo and leave little jobs for us.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini.

America always wants the best of the best and that is why Rijkaard is coaching intermediate kids. We expect to see American kids playing proper football in about 7 years.
