Barcelona coach had a tumour removed last year, but has suffered a relapse and has stepped down, according to reports in Spain.
According to reports from Spain, Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova has stepped down from his post after suffering a tumor relapse.
The coach had a tumor removed from his parotid gland in November last year while working as the Catalan club's assistant coach.
The operation was a success, and Vilanova returned to work with Barca, eventually taking over from Pep Guardiola when he stepped down in April.
Spanish television station Cuatro reported that Vilanova had suffered a relapse and had decided to step down with immediate effect.
Barcelona have already contacted their first-choice candidate to replace him on a temporary basis for the remainder of the season and are awaiting a decision.
The club's regular Wednesday press conference was cancelled this morning.
