Barce-lona president Joan Laporta said on Tuesday that coach Frank Rijkaard would continue at the club next season, after just missing out on their third consecutive Primera Liga title.
But he admitted mistakes had been made at all levels throughout the club, at the end of an ultimately disappointing year.
"We have absolute confidence in our technical staff and coach. Frank Rijkaard will be the Barcelona coach next season, he is very motivated, and looking forward to the new campaign," Laporta told a news conference.
Laporta reserved his criticism for some members of the squad who he felt had not pulled their weight on or off the field. He warned there would be changes.
“There have been some internal disciplinary problems which we will come down hard on. I'm not going to name names. We'll wash our dirty linen in house," he said.
