Barcelona Legend Sergio Busquets Returns to the Club in Coaching Role

A former prominent midfielder for La Liga champions Barcelona has officially returned to the club this week, taking on a new coaching position.

The iconic Barcelona figure set to begin his coaching career in Catalonia's capital is Sergio Busquets.

The ex-Spanish international was recently observed visiting the Ciutat Esportiva training ground, where he was photographed by various media outlets and reporters.

Initially, it was believed the 38-year-old was merely making a friendly visit, maintaining his strong connections with key figures within Barcelona's management.

However, it soon became clear that his visit had a more specific objective. Having recently concluded his distinguished playing career, Busquets is now eager to transition into coaching.

It has now been confirmed that his new coaching chapter will indeed begin with his beloved Blaugrana. A statement released across the reigning La Liga champions' social media platforms announced:

A former midfielder for La Liga champions Barcelona has officially returned to the club this week, taking on a new coaching role.

The Blaugrana icon set to earn his coaching stripes back in Catalunya’s capital over the years ahead is Sergio Busquets.

The ex-Spanish international Busquets was a surprise visitor to the Ciutat Esportiva late last month, photographed by a number of media outlets and reporters upon his arrival at the facility.

Initially, the 38-year-old was simply thought to have stopped by for a visit, maintaining a close relationship with several leading figures behind the scenes at Barca.

Word was soon forthcoming, though, that the trip came with a far more specific purpose in mind. Fresh off bringing a close to his legendary playing days, Busquets is ready to try his hand on the touchline moving forward.

And as confirmed on Monday, the start of his new journey is set to come back on the books of his beloved Blaugrana. As per a statement across the social media platforms of the reigning La Liga champions:

“Sergio Busquets joins Barça Atlètic as assistant coach from this Monday. The Barça legend is joining Juliano Belletti’s team to bring his experience and football knowledge to the Barça team while he completes his coaching course.”
