The Barca head coach was recently diagnosed with a cancer relapse, which was deemed as dangerous according to physicians.
Consequently, the information caused a storm at the Nou Camp as no one had seen this coming. As matters exasperated, the Catalan trainer even stated that he is considering to part ways with La Azulgrana if the conditions of his health do not improve.

until January.
Puyol asserted that the team are completely behind their head coach. He stressed that the players in the Barca squad need to show further support to their manager, which can be done if they continue to win.
"The dressing room is more upbeat now. We chatted with Tito yesterday and that gave us encouragement. The message we received was that everything has gone well. It was a real blow, a real punch in the face. But we have to get ourselves up and keep on fighting.
It's what this club has always done and now we will do it again," the defender said at a press conference.
"The dressing room is more upbeat now. We chatted with Tito yesterday and that gave us encouragement. The message we received was that everything has gone well. Abidal is an example to Vilanova and to all of us. He shows that if you fight you can overcome
challenges and compete at the highest level.
This is Tito Vilanova’s first season as the manager for the Catalan giants. Despite being inexperienced, he has led the team to their best start to a league campaign this term.
