The Blaugrana have announced on their
official website that the coach is set to depart America and come back home in
the coming days
Barcelona have revealed that Tito Vilanova
will return home this week after spending the past two months in New York
recovering from surgery on parotid gland cancer.
The 44-year-old went under the knife on
December 20, and then underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy for six weeks.
Vilanova left for New York for further
treatment in January, and is now ready to return home again after two months in
the USA.
Pep Guardiola's former assistant took charge
of Barcelona in the summer of 2012 after his mentor decided to leave the club
and take a one-year sabbatical, and guided the Blaugrana to their best-ever
Liga start before being struck by health issues late in 2012.
Vilanova was replaced by Jordi Roura during
his absence, with the latter now returning to his role as assistant coach once
more.
