Martino, Luis Enrique a good fit for Barca - Puyol


BARCELONA (Reuters) - Gerardo Martino and Luis Enrique are both suitable candidates to succeed Tito Vilanova as Barcelona coach as their philosophies chime well with the team's playing style, captain Carles Puyol said on Monday.

Martino, 50, who recently led Newell's Old Boys to the "Final" title in his native Argentina, and the 43-year-old Luis Enrique, a former Spain and Barca player who joined Celta Vigo last month, have emerged in local media as the front runners for the coveted post.
