Barcelona have officially unveiled Luis Enrique as their new first-team manager, taking the position vacated by Gerardo Martino on Saturday.
The former Celta Vigo boss joins on a two-year deal, as was confirmed by the official Barcelona Twitter account on Monday evening:
The 44-year-old shares a close bond with the Catalan club, having first joined as a player in 1996 before retiring in 2004, scoring 109 goals in 300 appearances for La Blaugrana.
Enrique would then go on to become a part of the club's reserve setup, managing Barcelona "B" from 2008 to 2011.
