Barcelona name training pitch after Vilanova




Barcelona have honoured the memory of former coach Tito Vilanova by renaming a training ground after him.

The Catalan club's board of directors agreed to name the number one pitch at the club's training camp at Sant Joan Despi after Vilanova.

Vilanova, who replaced Pep Guardiola at the helm of Barca and won La Liga in his only season in charge, died of throat cancer at the age of 45 in April.

A statement from Barcelona read: "The Board gave its unanimous approval of the proposal to rename pitch number one at the Ciutat Esportiva

after Tito Vilanova in posthumous honour of the former FC Barcelona player and manager."

Vilanova began his playing career at Barcelona's training academy but never made it to the first team.

Instead, he played at Celta Vigo and Mallorca before his career was cut short by a serious knee injury.

He went onto coach Barcelona's youth system and in 2008 he was hired as Guardiola's assistant.

Vilanova helped Barca win 14 of a possible 19 major trophies in four years under Guardiola before becoming head coach in the summer of 2012.

Barcelona remember Tito Vilanova by naming main training pitch after former boss



Barcelona have paid tribute to former manager Tito Vilanova by naming the main pitch at the club's training ground after him.

Vilanova died in April last year at the age of 45 after a long battle with throat cancer.

Having been Pep Guardiola's assistant during his four-year reign in charge of the Catalan giants, Vilanova led Barca to a record 100 points tally in winning La Liga during his only season in sole charge in 2012-13.

"He would have loved to have been here," said Vilanova's wife Montse Chaure.

"He said it was a privilege to coach the best team in the world and that he loved the players."

The naming ceremony was attended by the Barcelona first team as well as Vilanova's two children.

"From now on all the future generations that come to train at the Joan Gamper training ground ought to know who Tito Vilanova was," said Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
