The agent of former Barcelona and Galatasaray manager Frank Rijkaard has claimed that the Dutch coach would like to manage in the Premier League or Serie A, with Liverpool being an attractive option.
Don't Miss

Speaking to El Mecurio, Rijkaard's agent Perry Overeem indicated his belief that his client would favour a move to either England or Italy, with Liverpool previously strongly linked, citing his experiences at Barcelona to prove that the Dutchman is a capable coach.

"He wants to choose major European football teams in the Premier League or Calcio," Overeem said.

"I think that is attractive to a coach who showed in Barcelona he has the ability to manage in the best leagues in the world. He will surely be working in one or two months."

Rijkaard's agent also denied any link to the vacant Chilean manager's job, following the departure of Argentinean coach Marcelo Bielsa, affectionately nicknamed "El Loco" by fans for his eccentric style.

"I have not received any call from Chile or from that side of the world," the agent stated.

"The story is nothing but a rumour."
