Maybe they mean Jordi Cruyff, Johan's son. He's getting old enough to quit playing and take up coaching. And I just tried looking him up on the website of his Ukrainian (!) team, Mettalurg Donetsk, and got what I think was a "page not found" in response.
i am pretty sure they are talking about johan himself
Check out the photos of the sod laying. Stadium looks awesome: http://www.coloradorapids.com/News/newsdetails.asp?ID=2040
There is no way Johan Cruyff will be an assistant coach at Toronto FC. It just doesn't make sense. Why would some that has managed two of the largest clubs in europe, winning titles at both, take an assistant position?
I could possibly see him taking a Director of Soccer, GM, or maybe a Technical director posistion, but there is no way he will be an assistant coach. I would be shocked if he did.
I never really thought I'd travel out to Denver to catch a Rapids game but now with their new stadium its a must stop spot for me next summer.
smatthew
the probably do mean Johan but it would just be a publicity thing. The man hasn't coached in years and has no desire nor need to any more. He would probably be there as much as Youri Djorkaeff was in New York playing for the Red Bulls this summer.
MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDO!!!!!!!!!!
i dont normally print any rumors, but the cryuff one was just too weird and wild not to run
we shall see if it has any truth or not
