Tito Vilanova will step down as manager of FC Barcelona. President Sandro Rosell, who was accompanied by Andoni Zubizarreta, announced the news this Friday.
Vilanova will not be able to perform his managerial duties as he undergoes further treatment for his illness. During this afternoon’s press conference, Mr Rosell announced: “After evaluating the results from the routine check-ups, which Tito Vilanova underwent this week, he was presented with the option to continue treatment to control his illness which will make it impossible to continue his responsibilities as the first team manager of the senior side.”
The FC Barcelona president then went on to appeal for privacy as Vilanova continues treatment: “I want to ask everyone, especially the press, on account of Tito and his family, to respect his right to privacy through this process, which starts today.”
