#guadiola

Yes he made it ok to wear short sleeve shirts with a tie again. But more than his sideline fashion. The modern way in which he approached football will be missed. A true visionary and "Game Changer". Enjoy the sabbatical and muchas gracias. 

He has brought so much joy and success to the club. He has won 13 titles and I have a feeling that he might add one more if we win the Copa Del Rey. This within the span of 4 years is incredible. He brought us a team of players who are known as the best team in history and he lived by the Barca philosophy. It is sad to lose him but instead of mourning we should all think about the happiness he was able to bring to us for the past 4 years. He has made Barca a team that no one ever dreamed of and he did it with class. I will always remember Pep for his brilliance and for what he has done for this club. Remember he is the ONLY coach to win a sextuple and that says a lot.

I will miss him. I will miss his press conferences which had the perfect combination of honesty, intelligence and wit. I will miss him standing on the sideline in a suit. I will miss his dramatic gestures. I will miss his presence but I will remember his victories that became our victories, his team that became our team and a family that he became a part of. Mes que en club is not just a saying, it is something every Cule takes to heart. For us losing Pep is like losing an Uncle, a mentor or an older brother.

Aside from all of these sad emotions I was more shocked to see that we already had a replacement: Tito Vilanova. The pressure is on and a lot will be expected of him. As a choice I think it is interesting. The good thing is that he knows the Barca philosophy and he has been working with Pep since the beginning. Another very important thing is that all the players know him well and respect him. We will have to see what he can deliver but one thing that’s for sure is that all the Cules will be backing him.

Let us not forget Pep is not gone forever. For all we know he will take a break and come back for the next 4 seasons :p He did say if Tito ever needs him he is there so he has not left us. He still cares and will forever care. Let us not forget that. Barca will be in his heart forever.
