It certainly seemed like Tito Vilanova had a promising career ahead as the head coach of Barcelona’s soccer team. Unfortunately today he lost his two year battle against throat cancer according to the Washington Post:
“As an assistant, Mr. Vilanova helped Guardiola propel Barcelona into its most successful period and transform a team led by Argentine-born Lionel Messi into perhaps the world’s best.
With a team that also included several of the players that led Spain to the World Cup title in 2010, Barcelona won 14 of a possible 19 major trophies from 2008-12 under Guardiola before adding the league title with Mr. Vilanova in 2013.”
