Jose Mourinho is currently out of work and has been backed by Barcelona legend Rivaldo to replace Xavi.
The former translator and assistant boss has been out of work since being sacked by Roma in January.
And Rivaldo has lent his support to Mourinho despite him managing arch rivals, Real Madrid for 3 years.
The Brazilian told Betfair: “There are many fans who do not accept players or coaches who played for or managed their rival team. But Jose Mourinho has already been at Barcelona, with Sir Bobby Robson, and he is a great person.

“Of course, his intensity as a coach, and sometimes being controversial with his own fans could be a concern from the beginning, but he is a winner.
“Considering that he is without a club and the situation at Barcelona, in my opinion, it is easier for him to join the team than Guardiola right now, and I think It would be a great signing for Barcelona, even though some fans don’t like the name.
“Without a doubt he would do a great job, he knows the team, the Spanish league, the Champions League and has a lot of experience.”
Would Jose be a good fit for Barcelona? Let us know in the comments.
