Former Barcelona manager, Johan Cruyff, has stated that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604’s head coach for the next season, Tito Vilanova, will need to put his own stamp on the current Spanish champions in order to achieve success.

"When you are in charge you have to see how it goes. It depends on the philosophy, (former president Joan) Laporta, (former director of football Txiki) Beguiristain and Guardiola are no longer there. There are different views, new opinions and every detail
is important.”
"Every year you have to look at a piece, (Eric) Abidal is sick, (David) Villa will return (from injury) up front and he has a lot of quality. Villanova has to guide things."
