Hi,

There is no question that Rosell should go; he is destroying the club. However, Gerardo "Tata" Martino is the best coach for Barcelona. He is a very accomplished coach. Paraguay, with a limited team, was one team with Martino and a disaster without him - Paraguay will not qualify for Brazil 2014. Paraguay almost eliminated Spain in South Africa. He took over Newells, a team fighting relegation, a made it the clausura winner. Above all, he is an excellent person. Do not forget that Guardiola was an unproven coach when selected. Martino might be unknown in Europe, but he is a very accomplished coach. He was the favorite to take over the Argentine National team. Grondona (head of AFA) and Martino are like "oil and water." IMHO, this is a "no-brainer."

Best regards,

Hektor

Hi,

A big NO! To Bielsa! What has he ever done besides winning a gold medal in the Peking Olympics? In 2002, he took the best team in the world to Korea-Japan and Argentina did not make it out of group!

"Thank you Barça, thank you everyone

After five marvellous years forming part of a team that has made what any manager dreams of come true, the time has come to face a change in my professional career in order to put my strength and energy into continuing the process of the illness that was diagnosed a year and a half ago.

The treatments that I am going to have to undergo from now on does not make it recommendable, in the doctors’ opinion, for me to dedicate one hundred per cent of my effort to being the first team manager of a team as demanding as FC Barcelona, but I shall be staying close by and will be continuing to work for the Club that I love so much in other jobs in the sports area.

It is not easy to leave such a special group of people, the players, my fellow staff and friends with whom I have shared so many unforgettable experiences. I am eternally grateful for everything that they have given and shown to me. The human and footballing qualities of this team can overcome any obstacle and I am convinced that they will be able to use that capacity to face the new sporting challenges of a season that everybody has such high hopes for.

I would also like to especially thank the president, the whole of the Board of Directors, and the director of sport Andoni Zubizarreta for all the trust they have put into me and especially for their unconditional support, both sporting and personal. Just as important to me has been the human and medical support of Doctor Ramon Canal and his team, who have been by my side. I know that I am not playing this match alone, but I form part of a Club that will help me get through this long process, as it has done until now.

To you, the Barça members and supporters, I also want to say thank you for all the shows of support and affection that you have sent me, not just now but all these last months. I can tell you that that I feel calm and strong, and I am facing this new stage of the process in the full confidence that it will all go well.

Thank you very much too to all the football fans, fellow professionals, clubs, athletes and people that I do and do not know for all the messages of support that have brought so much comfort to me and my family.

These are difficult times for my loved ones and that’s why I am asking for respect and understanding from the media. Now that I am no longer Barça manager, I hope to enjoy the peace and privacy that both me and my family need at a time like this.

I couldn’t finish this letter without wishing lots of luck and every success to the new manager of the best team in the world.

Thank you everybody.

Tito Vilanova"

:cry: Well said.. Well said. Tito is a role model to everyone including the fans for his loyalty, honesty and class.

Every barca fan (except for those bandwagoners) in the world will remember his strength.

wouldn't Gus Hiddink be a great coach choice for our beloved FCB?

I think so :messi:

No, he wouldn't. His tactical preferences are different from the way Barça play. He's not the best name for the job.
