News about Tito Vilanova

Lionel Messi has posted a tribute to Tito Vilanova ten years after the death of the former Barcelona manager. Vilanova coached Barcelona in the 2012-13 season, having previously worked at the club as an assistant coach under Pep Guardiola, winning 14 trophies.  In July 2013 Vilanova stepped down from his position as Barcelona manager due to ill health. He died from throat cancer on April 25, 2014, aged 45.
