Barcelona president Joan Laporta says Frank Rijkaard would be the ideal coach for AC Milan.

The Dutchman has been linked with Carlo Ancelotti's job with the Rossoneri and Laporta said: "He's one of the best coaches in the world and would succeed at any club and even more so in Milan, where he was before.

"The decision to not continue at Barca was the most difficult of my chairmanship. I broke down in tears when we said goodbye."
