Widespread reports in the Spanish
press (from Marca and El Mundo
Deportivo) confirm that Barcelona
have appointed Argentine Tata
Martino as their new coach.
Gerardo Daniel Martino, nicknamed
Tata, has held talks with Barcelona
over the past few days following the
departure of Tito Vilanova due to
illness.
The 50-year-old, who reportedly
comes to the Nou Camp on the
recommendation of Lionel Messi, has
agreed a three-year deal with
Barcelona president Sandro Rosell.
The former Newell’s Old Boys coach
brings Elvio Paolorroso and Jorge
Pautasso with him to the Nou Camp,
as assistant coach and trainer,
respectively.
Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino holds the
record for most appearances for
Newell’s Old Boys(505) & was voted
the greatest player in Newell’s history
by fans.
This appears to be a bold and exciting
choice from Barcelona and Martino is
known as a disciple of Marcelo Bielsa
