Cruyff advises Vilanova to step down as coach of Barcelona

Posted on 6:17 AM by Unknown
Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff, has advised current coach of the club, Tito Vilanova, to resign because of his personal health.

The 44-year-old had an operation in 2011 to remove a tumour, but suffered a relapse in December 2012, which meant he missed several months of the 2012/2013 campaign.

 He made his return in April 2013 and led Barca to the La Liga title, but Cruyff feels he should stay away from the game for now. "In his condition it's not very advisable to continue as a coach. I had a heart operation myself…


can you be in charge of Barca if you aren't 100 per cent?" the former Camp Nou coach told Catalunya Radio.

 "I'd tell Tito to look after himself. He's not as strong and experienced as Pep Guardiola. He has a massive problem in the form of his illness and his health comes first."

 Cruyff also spoke on Jose Mourinho, who would be leaving Real Madrid at the end of the season, stating that he was not impressed by the work the Portuguese has done in his three seasons in charge. "With the behaviour he showed nothing could be done really.

If you start a fight with your best player, that's not right. I think he went too far. "He's not guilty just right now, but has been for two or three years. He's not done Madrid any favours."
