VILLANOVA WILL BE GREAT

Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas has said that the decision taken by the club to appoint Guardiola's assistant manager Tito Villanova as the new manager of Barcelona is a great decision. Cesc Fabregas recently completed his first season at the club after his £ 35 million move from Arsenal in the summer.

Even though he started the season spectacularly with Barcelona, he has been extremely were in the second half of the season. Fabregas acknowledges this and promises to improve in the next season. The cup final on May 27 against Athletic Bilbao will be the last match for Guardiola before Tito Villanova takes over.

Barcelona have failed to win both the league title and the Champions League under what you will at this season after the spectacular spell of 13 trophies from a maximum possible 16 up until now. Cesc Fabregas believes that Barcelona will return to winning ways next season because he says that Tito Villanova is a man who is a winner. He has also praised the officials for taking the decision on appointing Tito Villanova, which will provide the club with much-needed continuity. Guardiola said that he expects Tito Villanova to provide something that he failed to offer the club in his four years.

"First of all, I must say that Tito is a very good person. It may sound like a cliche but it's true: he is a winner. He also shares the same virtue with Pep in that he knows how to get the best out of players. I do not like to make predictions but Barca should look great with Tito. I know Tito will want to contribute his own personal touch. And I also know that he had an influence on my signing!" said Fabregas. He also said that he is extremely happy with the decision to move to Barcelona.
