Francesc "Tito" Vilanova

Am I the only one that thinks this will be a one season mandate, due to his illness.
Coaching barca is a stressful job and not worth working yourself into the ground literally in his case

My thoughts exactly!


I am starting to think that Tito may have to call it after the season. Unless, perhaps there is a great turn-around in regards to his health.

It is a real shame about his health.. so sad for him. He is such a classy delightful person with a ridicously sharp football mind

His health is what matters now not his career

Luis Enrique for the next manager?

It really amazes me just how stressful the coaching job is for this team. You never really hear of other coaches being as stressed in other teams or even in other sports that I watch.

I remember Pep once saying that 60% of the work of a Barca coach is not even related to football. Shows just how difficult it is to be in that position and this makes the last four years even more impressive. :O

Ironically many people belittle Pep's achievements by saying that Barca doesn't need a coach as the players are too good

Heck no Luis Enrique to succeed Tito. IF Tito reallt leaves after this season due to health reasons, I'd say we get Klopp or Löw. If we want a former player; get Frank de Boer.

Totally agree, it is really disrespectful to talk about this at the moment.

I think he'll probably have to call it quits after this season, sadly. I better be wrong though. Kinda sucks that Pep already signed for Bayern Munich. It would be nice if he could take care of the team until the end of the season, but the club respects Roura, which is always good.

Bearing in mind that Tito and Pep were not only co-workers, but also friends, do you think that they now are watching the games together? Just like the good ol' times?

That´s called bitterness.

Barca need tito for his sharp technical strategics.
It is a must that he need to get back before the clash with ac milan . Be warned fans, we can not sit back and relax.

He has cancer. He will return when he can.

Zubi, after meeting him in NY: "Está bien, se está recuperando. Ha recuperado peso y está conectado con nosotros y ve todo el fútbol habido y por haber".
Translation: He's fine, recovering. He has gained weight and is conected with us, and sees all the football played and to be played.

I'm not sure with that last part, if it's something else, someone please correct me. But it's great to know Tito's getting better

Good news!
