Barcelona sporting director Deco has dismissed reports suggesting Jose Mourinho is being lined up to take over at the Camp Nou. In January, Xavi announced his shock decision to step down as Barcelona head coach at the end of the season, sparking an immediate search for his replacement.
Mourinho parted ways with Roma last month with reports in Spain naming him as a candidate to take the Barcelona job, a move that would see him become just the third man in history to manage both of Spain’s top sides after his three-year reign at Real Madrid.
