Francesc "Tito" Vilanova

[Galning]

Tito is better than Pep

Already saying this after a couple of months while Pep was the most succesful Barça coach ever?

 

[numero]

Not sure whether we should assess him so fast and pass a judgement on our finest coach ever. Pep is BARCA.

 

[Tomchin]

Anything in particular you like better?

2 points about Tito in which I like him better than Pep:

1) Press-conferences (Tito seems less politically correct, more direct, and not shy to answer "difficult" questions)
2) Earlier subs

 

[Barcaman]

While still early to be definitive, I agree on both points.

Have to say, I never thought the transition would be so smooth. I don't know if Barca are just on autopilot/Pep's legacy/Messi pulling it, whatever... or is Tito indeed an astute coach that will be a worthy successor of pep.

 

[FCBarca]

I do think the symbiotic relationship Tito shares as well as vision of football with Pep has made the transition fairly seamless thus far...But as Cruyff pointed out, the difference, if any, will likely be when he is confronted with some adversity

I'd like Tito more if he could only smile a lil bit more ... he lacks that charisma that Pep had ...I loved to see that, it was so honest

 

[UberNjufer]

don't get me wrong but this isn't beauty pageant.Skiny,fat,ugly does it really matter,and while we are at it i actually preffer tito's aproach.He's not shy to hit back,something that pep lacked at times

 

[Garrus]

It's a crime calling this pep guardiola's team, I strongly believe that tito had as much part in it as guardiola, But being labeled an assistant didn't exactly gave him much credit.

yeah, I was expecting comment like this... I agree, but be aware I haven't said anything against Tito. He's great at his job.. and I just did a small emotional comparison to Pep, I miss seeing that guy near football field

everyone has their own thing i guess,i myself am focused solely on football.You 'll see pep soon,maybe in chelsea outfit with J.T by his side

 

[Boris]

oh hell no... I could accept to see him in any club except Chelsea and Madrid

THIS!! Too early to judge and we will see what he is made off when we go through a rough patch. 14 trophies is hard to match. Tito has his work cut out for him.

However I think he's more tactically astute and less politically correct which I like. Sometimes I think Pep took the high ground way too often.
