Barca line up Guardiola to succeed Rijkaard: report
Barcelona have lined up their former player and current reserves coach Pep Guardiola to succeed Frank Rijkaard as manager next season, Spanish media suggested Monday.
According to reports an official announcement is due to be made on May 19 after the final round of league games.
A Champions League semi-final defeat by Manchester United last week left Rijkaard facing the sack at the end of another trophy-less season.
Club president Joan Laporta and sporting director Txiki Begiristain have reportedly already taken the decision to appoint Guardiola and will put it to the side's directors at their next meeting.
Barcelona, lying third, are away to newly crowned champions and bitter rivals Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Re: Barca line up Guardiola to succeed Rijkaard: report
i dont think he is a good replacement for barcelona or rijkard
barcelona is a big team ,so the manager should be a more experience figure ,
i know guardiola was former barcelona player and had a good reputation also , but he never train a 1st division team ....so i doubt he will give a big changes from barcelona current problems.
