Francesc "Tito" Vilanova

Tito's still communicating with the coaching staff even though he's in New York, right? That's what I've heard, at least
Anyways, good to know he's getting better.

Any word on when he will be fully recovered and ready to return?

 

[Flavia]

He's really being missed. Since he went to NY, the team is not the same.

 

[beautifulgame]

Yup. Barca wouldn't have been as flat if he was around. :-(

Best of luck to tito! I hope he pulls an Abidal and makes a great return, I miss him so much

 

[beautifulgame]

I'm confused about his return. Is he due back end of feb or end of march.

Rosell (president): "It's expected Vilanova will be back to coach the team at the beginning of April."

Any chance of him making an early return?

If we get through to the QF (unlikely, but IMO we can pull it off), I'm hoping we don't get a tough team until the semis.

I'd love to hear of him preparing a video for the home games against Madrid and Milan. Him speaking to the players and basically saying, "Every bad performance is making my condition worse. Don't lose. Win by many goals. Visca Barca!". That'll be cool.

Sounds like that pee-wee hockey South Park episode.

@ Barcastuff President Rosell will travel to New York on Wednesday. He'll visit Vilanova and see if he can be back for CL return against Milan.

I'm aware it didn't say he'd persuade him to come back... but still I don't really like this. From the fans or from the club. FFS, give the man some peace, his health is in danger. There are more important things than football in his life at the moment.

I doubt he'll come back unless he's ready to, and I think Rosell won't really try to pressure him. I wouldn't be too worried.

 

[Stric]

Ideally, he'd have a normal guy's life and go take months of vacation after such serious treatment. However, in the best case he'll go right back to work ASAP. Now we're even trying to get him back sooner than ASAP.

You guys are fretting over something some guy posted on twitter and what was probably recycled from whoknows what source.
