A former Barcelona coach, Tito Vilanova, has died at the age of 45 after a long battle with cancer, the club has announced.
The La Liga giants, through their official twitter handle @FCBarcelona, Friday evening broke the sad news to their fans across the world.
“The FC Barcelona is in immense mourning. Tito Vilanova has died at the age of 45. May he rest in peace,” the club wrote.
Club expresses its most heartfelt sympathy to Tito's family, who are being joined in these moments of mourning by FC Barcelona members and fans all around the world, as well as the rest of the footballing and sporting world.

Barcelona had announced that Vilanova was suffering from parotid gland cancer for the second time in December 2012. The Spaniard was, however, first diagnosed a year earlier on November 22.
The degenerating health issues forced Vilanova to resign as Barcelona manager as he relapsed from his condition and could no longer cope with the demands of the job.
FC Barcelona will be opening a space in the main grandstand at the Camp Nou for people to express their condolences, which will be open to anyone who wishes to express their sympathy and love for the late Tito Vilanova.
