Blackpool midfielder Ludovic Sylvestre believes former Barcelona boss Frank Rijkaard would be a hit in the English Premier League.
The 48-year old Dutchman has long been linked with a move to manage in England but so far nothing has occurred.
Sylvestre, who played under Rijkaard at Barcelona, says the knowledge of the Ajax and AC Milan great would make him a perfect for an EPL club.
"I think he is a very good manager because he knows so much about football, he knows how to talk to the players, he's a very calm person, he just knows what he is doing and he is very successful as well," the Frenchman told tribalfootball.com.
"I think it's very good if he can come here and try to impart his vision of football, I think he can be great for England."
