About this person
Born 30 September 1962, Franklin Edmundo Rijkaard came up through Ajax, where he claimed five Eredivisie titles and lifted the 1994-95 Champions League. He moved to AC Milan and won back-to-back European Cups in 1989 and 1990, plus Serie A honors, establishing himself as one of the finest defensive midfielders the game has seen. For the Netherlands he earned 73 caps, anchoring the side that took the 1988 European Championship and later finished third at Euro '92; he also appeared at the 1990 and 1994 World Cups. As a manager he had spells with Sparta Rotterdam and the Dutch national team before landing at Barcelona in 2003, where a five-year run yielded two La Liga titles and the 2005-06 Champions League. Later stops included Galatasaray and the Saudi Arabia national team.
