Posted Saturday, July 20, 2013 by YAHOO Sport
BARCELONA, July 19 (Reuters) - Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova is to step down due to ill health with immediate effect as he continues his battle with throat cancer, president Sandro Rosell said on Friday.
Vilanova, 44, would be undergoing treatment that meant he will be unable to continue in his current role, Rosell said at a news conference.
Barca would probably announce the appointment of a new coach early next week, he added.
