Sandro Rosell: “Let’s go, Tito! We’re going to have a great time together!” - Gayo Lues

The president of FC Barcelona sees in Tito Vilanova’s eyes that he is looking forward to managing the first team

“Tito represents the football ideology we want”, said Rosell

Rosell has thanked the new manager, in the name of the Board, for accepting his new post, and has reiterated his unconditional support for the new manager

Sandro Rosell spoke about the appointment of Tito Vilanova during his official presentation to the press. “When Andoni proposed him, we didn’t think twice. For many reasons: because he represents the football ideology we want; for his human values; because he’s a very capable person, with specific ideas about football and how to get them across; and because he has been a Barça man all his life and has the club in his blood”, said the president.

Rosell felt there were only two main concerns. Was Vilanova in good enough health for the job, and was it something he really wanted to do? He had no reason to doubt. “Tito Vilanova is as healthy as an oak, and when directly asking ‘Tito, are you looking forward to it?’, you could see the look in his eyes, he’s very excited … Desire and health are very important in this job” he explained.

Barça pride

Rosell has no doubt that “every Barça fan is proud to have Tito Vilanova managing Barça”. The first team “were the first to show their support … The Board of Directors would like to thank Tito for taking this step forward, and assure him that we’ll be right by his side.” He also made a pleas to everybody in the room help the team “row in the right direction, at least for a while … Let’s go, Tito! We’re going to have a great time together!”
