Barcelona president Rosell: No hesitation over Vilanova appointment

Barcelona president Sandro Rosell says there was no hesitation when making Tito Vilanova new coach.

Vilanova succeeds Pep Guardiola and was formally presented to the local media last week.

"When Andoni (Zubizarreta) proposed him, we didn't think twice," smiled Rosell.

"For many reasons: because he represents the football ideology we want; for his human values; because he's a very capable person, with specific ideas about football and how to get them across; and because he has been a Barça man all his life and has the club in his blood."
