BARCELONA APPOINTS GERARDO MARTINO TO REPLACE TITO VILANOVA

have confirmed they have appointed Gerardo Martino as the club's new head coach on a two-year deal.

The Camp Nou side were rocked by the departure of Tito Vilanova last week after he resigned from his position as a result of his need to undergo further treatment in his recovery from a cancer relapse.

A number of names, including Celta Vigo boss Luis Enrique,and Tottenham Andre villa-Boas had since been linked with the vacant post in the past few days.

"Barcelona have reached an agreement to sign Gerardo Martino as the new first team coach for the next two seasons," a Barca statement reads.

"The agreement is still pending the drafting and signing of his contract. The schedule for his trip to Barcelona, signature of his contract and official presentation will be announced in the next few hours."

Martino, 50, has never coached in Europe, but was named South American Coach of the Year in 2007 for his work with the Paraguay national team, before winning the league title with Newell's last season and reaching the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores.

'Tata' Martino becomes the fourth Argentine coach in Barcelona's history after Roque Olsen, Helenio Herrera and Cesar Luis Menotti.

                                                                                                                                                                The squad received a special visit at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper this Monday morning, when Éric Abidal, who was visiting the city, dropped in to show his support for his ex-teammates at this moment of difficulty. Abidal, currently with Monaco, played for Barça from 2007 until 2013 and was a very popular figure with the fans because of his human and footballing qualities. He remains a great example of overcoming difficulties.

The French international was quick to send his support for Tito Vilanova after news of his health problems was announced, sending this message on the social networks:
