Barcelona boss

BARCELONA said its members have elected Sandro Rosell as its president, succeeding Joan Laporta at the helm of the Catalan club. The club said on Sunday that Rosell had won more than 60 percent of the vote.

Agusti Benedito came second. Laporta had been president since 2003 and leaves the Spanish champion after presiding over one of its most successful periods, winning six trophies in 2009. Coach Pep Guardiola said he would not commit to the club for next year until he knew who the new president would be.
