Overview
- FC Barcelona confirmed on Monday that club legend Sergio Busquets has joined Juliano Belletti’s Barça Atlètic staff as an assistant coach.
- The club statement says Busquets will work day-to-day with the reserve team while he completes the formal coaching courses required to earn his licences.
- Barça Atlètic is Barcelona’s B team that competes in the Segunda Federación, and the club frames Busquets’ role as a way to pass the first‑team’s style and values to young players.
- Coverage reports that Busquets left Barcelona in 2023 for Inter Miami and then retired from playing in 2025 after two seasons in the United States.
- The hire continues Barcelona’s practice of moving former players into coaching roles and may accelerate the reserve side’s rebuild by pairing elite playing experience with Belletti’s existing coaching structure.
