Rumours
emerged on Friday that the 44-year-old, who took over from Pep
Guardiola prior to the 2012-13 season, was set to step down from his
role after suffering another setback in his battle against
ill-health.
Club president Sandro Rosell and director of football Andoni Zubizarreta called a press conference at Camp Nou on Friday evening, where they confirmed Vilanova must undergo further cancer treatment which would make it "impossible" for him to continue in his role.
"After looking at routine tests, there is [now] an option to continue treating his disease which means it will be impossible for him to continue as first-team coach of FC Barcelona," Rosell told reporters. "I want to ask for the maximum respect for him and his family.
I remember asking if Barcelona was breaking up after they started selling off some of their players, well now am asking again.
