Heynckes Rules Out Barcelona Job

[Folami David]

Treble-winning coach Jupp Heynckes has poured cold water on speculation linking him to the vacant Barcelona job as the ex-Bayern Munich boss insisted he is enjoying his retirement.
.
The 68-year-old steered Bayern to become the first German club to win the treble of Champions League, Bundesliga and German Cup last season as the Bavarian giants swept aside all rivals.
.
As well as capturing their fifth European title, Bayern broke or equalled 25 Bundesliga records en route to winning the German league by a staggering 25 points.
.
Heynckes stepped down as Bayern coach following his history-making feat but has said he has no interest in replacing Tito Vilanova, who resigned as Barcelona coach on Friday.
.
"I think now it would be impossible to take on a new club after my time at Bayern Munich," Heynckes told Germany's Sky Sports News.
.
"I keep myself busy, I have hobbies, I do some sports,
.
I have my pets and a huge garden to keep me occupied."
.
With Vilanova, 44, walking away from the Barca job to continue cancer treatment, a poll in the Spanish media put Heynckes top of the potential list of candidates.
.
But after a career spanning half a century as a player then coach, which saw Heynckes steer both Real Madrid and Bayern to Champions League victories, the German has said enough is enough.
.
"I understood the signals from my body and rightfully so," he said.
.
"I feel well and enjoy having some time to myself."
.
Former Holland star Ronald Koeman has also ruled himself out of the running for the Barcelona vacancy.
.
"No, I haven't given it any thought at all," said the 50-year-old Feyenoord coach.
.
"I am more concerned about Vilanova's illness.
.
"Who will be the coach? I don't know, I have nothing to do with it."

Barcelona need a smaller coach right now to start with them from the scratch...They don't need a very popular coach that would mess up their game.

FC Barcelona is a kind of club that should not rely on famous coaches and all that because I know they can survive them.....
