On January 21, the head coach of Barcelona, who went to the United States, changes his plans and, as previously thought, will not return to Barcelona at the end of February.
Sporting director of the Catalan team Andoni Zubizarreta, who spoke with journalists, informed that the coach will stay abroad for another month, until the end of March.
In a hospital in New York, T. Vilanova continues treatment after surgery to remove a cancerous throat tumor. The 44-year-old Catalan is undergoing chemotherapy.
This means that Barcelona will continue to be led by assistant coach Jordi Roura, who will face two serious tests.
At the end of February, Barcelona will have a return leg match for the King's Cup at Camp Nou stadium against Real Madrid, and on February 20 and March 12, the Catalan team will test their strength twice against AC Milan in the first knockout stage of the Champions League.
