The entire Catalonia region is deeply concerned as news emerges of Tito Vilanova, the former coach of FC Barcelona, being in critical condition, as reported by various Spanish media outlets.
Vilanova, who previously served as Pep Guardiola’s assistant, has been battling parotid gland cancer since December 2011. Reports suggest that he underwent another emergency operation on Thursday, adding to the ongoing health challenges he has been facing.
Having been hospitalized since last Friday, Vilanova’s condition remains precarious. Despite assuming the managerial role at FC Barcelona after Guardiola’s departure for Bayern Munich, Vilanova was forced to resign from his position last July due to health concerns.
