Barcelona legend Cruyff: I would never have Mourinho coach of my team

Dutch legend Johan Cruyff has again taken aim at Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho. Cruyff moved to defend Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola over criticism from AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

"I think it's a dispute that has nothing to do with football. I have great respect for Mourinho as a coach, with all that he has achieved, but he would never be the coach of my team," said Cruyff.

"I believe that a coach needs to do more things than win, you have to represent the club, the institution, to it's members. In that sense Rijkaard and Guardiola are good representatives for a world-renowned institution."
