Former Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova, who has been battling cancer, has died at the age of 45.
“FC Barcelona is in immense mourning,” the Spanish club said in a statement. “Tito Vilanova has died at the age of 45. May he rest in peace.”
Vilanova, who had first been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor of the throat in November 2011, stepped down as Barcelona coach in July 2013.
