Former Spanish midfielder Sergio Busquets has rejoined his childhood club, FC Barcelona, as an assistant coach with the side’s B team, Barcelona Athletic.
Busquets will work alongside second-team head coach Juliano Belletti in the upcoming season.
Barça said on their official website: “Sergio Busquets joins Barça Atlético as an assistant coach on Monday. The Barça legend joins Juliano Belletti’s team to bring his experience and football knowledge to the Barça team while he takes the coaching course.”
Busquets left Barcelona in 2023 and joined Inter Miami in the MLS to reunite with former teammates Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba and Luis Suárez, before calling time on his playing career late last year.
Busquets, who won the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012 with Spain, made 722 appearances for Barça, placing him third on their all-time list. In his 15 years with the club, he won 32 trophies, including nine La Liga titles, seven Copa del Rey titles, seven Spanish Super Cups, three Champions Leagues, three European Super Cups and three Club World Cups.
