FC Barcelona rename first-team training pitch after late coach and manager Tito Vilanova

FC Barcelona have renamed their first-team training pitch 'Camp Tito Vilanova' after their late coach and manager, who passed away last year from cancer.

Vilanova's family were at the ceremony, joining the entire Barcelona squad and his widow, Montse Chaure, thanked the club for the gesture.

'The best thing we can do when someone we love isn't here is remember them,' Chaure is quoted as saying in AS. 'He loved this pitch, he always said he was privileged to do something he enjoyed, which was coaching. He loved all these players.'
