The Argentinean skipper spoke about the times when he was young and how Tito Vilanova really helped him become a player that he is today.
Last season Barcelona lost their first-team manager, Josep Guardiola, after the Catalan coach decided to part ways with the club, claiming that he needs at least a year off from football.
After Guardiola left the Nou Camp, many thought that the Catalan giants will announce a famous person as their next manager. However, the Barcelona management showed confidence in Guardiola’s assistant manager, Tito Vilanova, and gave him a chance to shine
as the first-team manager of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
Tito Vilanova has been a part of Barcelona for quite some time now. He used to be the assistant coach for the Barcelona B team as well, right when Josep Guardiola used to manage them.
Moreover, he remained as the assistant coach for Barcelona when Josep Guardiola took charge of the club.
The two men always worked together and many believe that Tito Vilanova might be one of those managers who can retain the success which Barcelona have achieved under Josep Guardiola.
When Vilanova was appointed as the head coach for the Spanish giants, all the Barcelona staff and the players favoured the move.
While some players claimed that it is a bold move, the others claimed that Tito Vilanova is a perfect replacement for Josep Guardiola.
The Catalan tactician knows how things work around at the Nou Camp and that will definitely aid him to become a successful manager at the Spanish club.
Recently, while speaking about Vilanova as a manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 praised the Spaniard and claimed that he has really helped him become the player that he is today.
While speaking to the press, the Argentinean star said:
"Tito helped me improve a great deal when I was younger," he said. "I never imagined I would run into him again in the first division, but I am very pleased to have him here.”
Barcelona are expected to come back with all guns blazing, especially after they lost the change to retain the Spanish La Liga and the UEFA Champions League last season.
