Henrik Larsson has been appointed to the new coaching staff at Barcelona

The Swede will assist new manager Ronald Koeman, who took charge at Camp Nou earlier this week.

NEW BARCELONA MANAGER Ronald Koeman has appointed Henrik Larsson to his coaching staff on a two-year contract.

Larsson, who previously managed Falkenberg and Helsingborg in the top flight of his native Sweden, spent two seasons of his playing career at Barcelona.

After a seven-year spell at Celtic, where he became a club legend, the striker went on to win the Champions League and two La Liga titles at Barca.

Earlier in Larsson’s career, he and Koeman – who has replaced the sacked Quique Setien at Camp Nou – were team-mates at Feyenoord.

Koeman has also added former Hoffenheim manager Alfred Schreuder – who a Barcelona club statement describes as “an expert in set pieces” – to his staff.
