"It is an open secret in Holland that this is Rijkaard's last season at Barcelona," one insider told the Daily Mail. "He will move to Chelsea as coach, with Henk Ten Cate as his assistant and Grant back as director of football."
Rijkaard and Ten Cate worked successfully together at the Nou Camp and earned the admiration of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich. Ten Cate has revealed to friends how he and Rijkaard once met Abramovich and were complimented for their style of football.
