FC Barcelona’s Twitter feed is today paying tribute to first team’s former coach, Tito Vilanova.

Vilanova was appointed Barcelona boss ahead of the 2012/13 season, taking the reins of los azulgranas after his close friend Pep Guardiola’s departure and led the team to the LaLiga title. Barça announced Vilanova was suffering with form of cancer in his parotid gland in November 2011, when he was still Guardiola’s assistant coach.
