Francesc "Tito" Vilanova

[Doobs]

Oh no!

Please be alright!

It seems a statement on Tito from the club may not be coming too soon.

 

[SEvolution]

Its almost confirmed.

I'm in a shock now. This guy is too influential for fans and players.

 

[Maria]

This can not be true. After Abi's return I thought that we could finally smile..

Jordi Roura will coach the team against Valladolid. Tito will talk to the players this evening. And after the match, Club will announce a new temp coach as Tito is expected to step down as FCB manager.

 

[Sultan]

Hope he is alright.

Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova is undergoing an emergency operation at a hospital in Barcelona after a relapse of cancer. [ara]

And I can't imagine Jordi will be the interim coach...But who other than Pep could take over for this team?

 

[BarcaGirl]

Life can be so cruel sometimes. One day before Abi is cleared, and the next day, you're hit with this terrible news about Tito.

Luis Enrique as said on Twitter.

Get well soon Tito! Such bad news.. :/
Hope it's Pep who comes back. No other manager knows how to manage this team.. and the tough months are coming. There's no time for " a stranger" to adapt.

As much as i love Pep i wouldn't want him to be the replacement. If anyone, maybe Xavi as player-manager (although i recall him saying he doesn't want to coach, so idk) but hopefully it doesn't come to that.

True. I can't imagine him refusing if he was asked. But I'm not sure if they will.

 

[Flavia]

He's having an emergency operation?? I wish there was some official statement already.

 

[abual3bed1]

I know Pep won't think twice if the club call him.
