Barcelona appointed Dutchman Frank Rijkaard as coach on a four-year contract in place of Radomir Antic on Monday.

“This is a big chance at a wonderful club,” Rijkaard said as he was presented at the Nou Camp. “We are in a moment when we have to work hard for the future. A wonderful club like Barcelona deserves that.”

Antic was told earlier on Monday his contract would not be renewed, despite his achievement in guiding Barca to a UEFA Cup place for next season.
