When he's visiting games his condition must be better than it looks to be, hopefully.
Carlos Rexach gave some news about Tito in an interview: Said he's fine. A bit weak because of the treatment, but that's he's with a high morale and in high spirits.
That's good news. Hope he keeps recovering.
Former Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes paid tribute to ex-Barcelona boss Tito Vilanova in an emotional speech in the Catalan capital on Monday night.
Heynckes was a special guest at the annual Mundo Deportivo gala and the 68-year-old dedicated some special words to Tito, who won the award for best coach but stayed at home to continue with his battle against cancer.
With Vilanova absent, Heynckes presented the prize to Barca's sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta and read an emotive speech in immaculate Spanish.
"It's a great honour and a joy for me to be at this great gala and present this award to a distiniguished person: Tito Vilanova, " the former Bayern boss said. "With Tito, the team played fantastic football like in previous years."
And he added: "Tito is a great strategist. He's hard-working, reserved and brave - and he has a fluid relationship with the players.
"He is an example for the world of sport and the world in general - a gentleman. We wish you luck [in your recovery] - you deserve it. You're a champion of sport and in life - and in me you'll have a friend for life."
Heynckes also presented a gift to Zubizarreta for Vilanova on behalf of himself and Bayern's general manager Uli Hoeness.
"He summed up Tito in the way few have been able to," Zubizarreta said of Heynckes. "Tito couldn't be here [tonight] but is grateful to you all for this award. He is getting the care and attention he needs."
Rexach (ex-Barcelona): "I had supper with Tito on Friday. He looked good, he was very cheerful. The new treatment is going well." [ser]
:thumbsup2:
I hope it's not true, but there are rumors that Tito has been urgently admitted to the hospital.
Where did you see it?
