On Friday, it was officially announced that Tito Villanova will be the assistant to Josep Guardiola for the 2012/13 season at "Barcelona."
"When in October Pep announced that he was considering leaving the club, we began looking for his replacement and it was a real challenge.
The decision was influenced by several reasons, but the most important thing was that the team would continue to achieve victories. Tito reads the game excellently, analyzes it, plans tactics, and is also a great person," said director Andoni Zubizarreta.
J.Guardiola wished success to his successor.
"I hope for the best. I believe that the team made the right decision. Villanova can lead the club in the right direction, he is known to the players. He will give the team and footballers what I cannot give anymore."
"I advised the coach: if you have confidence in your abilities, move forward. After all, they offer the position of "Barcelona" captain - every coach in the world dreams of this position."
