Pedro says Barcelona players welcome Vilanova appointment

Pedro says Barcelona players are pleased with the appointment of Tito Vilanova as new coach.

Vilanova will replace Pep Guardiola at the end of the season as he steps up from his assistant's role.

"It was a hard blow for the players, after everything Guardiola done for the Club, but we have to respect his decision. However, we're very pleased that Tito will be manager. We wish him the best," said Pedro.

"We'd like to present the King's Cup title to the fans and to Guardiola. We'll see how we come into that match."
