Barcelona have confirmed the appointment of Luis Enrique as their new coach following Gerardo Martino's departure at the weekend.
Enrique, who steered Celta Vigo to a creditable ninth-placed finish in 2013/14, has agreed to a two-year contract with the Catalans. He spent eight years at Camp Nou as a player and another three in charge of the club's B team.
"The FC Barcelona board of directors have this evening confirmed Luis Enrique Martinez as the new first team coach, following a proposal from sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta," read a Barca statement.
"Luis Enrique, 44, will sign a two-year deal."
Martino resigned as Barcelona boss after the team relinquished League honours to Atletico Madrid by drawing 1-1 at home on Saturday.
