"Barcelona" president Sandro Rosell didn't even have the idea to invite current coach Gerardo Martino. The Spanish press informs that the head of the Catalan team really wanted to appoint Luiz Scolari, who coaches the Brazil national team, in place of Tito Vilanova. Famous agent Francois Gallardo revealed to the media that the decisive factor was the word of the club leader Lionel Messi, which forced inviting G. Martino, who was unknown to many, to take a "hot" position. There is a possibility that L. Scolari was a candidate for a simple reason - to help the newcomer to "Barcelona" and his protégé in the Brazil national team, Neymar, adapt as best as possible."
