Latest news from FC Barcelona: Joan Laporta's team has confirmed the return of Sergio Busquets, 38 years old, to join as an assistant coach for Barça Atlètic. The former midfielder will work alongside Juliano Belletti while he completes his training and obtains the necessary qualifications to work as a coach.

Busquets thus embarks on a new stage after retiring as a professional footballer following his time at Inter Miami. His return comes three years after leaving Barça as a player and marks his first experience within a coaching staff.

FC Barcelona brings back Sergio Busquets

Sergio Busquets will join Belletti's team at the Barça youth team. His role will be connected to the daily training sessions and the development of players working towards the first team.

The former midfielder begins this new phase while pursuing his coaching course. The assistant position will allow him to gain experience from the sidelines after a career of almost two decades at the highest level with Barcelona, Miami, and the Spanish national team.

Busquets concluded his playing career after two and a half seasons with Inter Miami. There, he once again shared the pitch with former teammates from his time at Barça, such as Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, and Luis Suárez.

He now returns to an environment he knows well from his formative years. Busquets passed through La Masia before joining Barça Atlètic and later making the leap to the first team under Pep Guardiola during the 2008/09 season.

A career of 722 matches with Barça

The experience that FC Barcelona adds to the youth team's coaching staff is backed by 722 official matches with the first team. Busquets ranks third in the list of players with the most appearances in the club's history.

During his 15 seasons with the first team, he clinched 32 titles. His trophy cabinet includes 9 La Liga titles, 3 Champions League trophies, and 7 Copa del Rey victories, among other domestic and international awards.

He also played 143 matches for the Spanish national team. He was part of the World Cup-winning team in 2010 and the Euro Cup triumph in 2012, before retiring from international duty after the Qatar World Cup.

His association with Barça as a player ended in the summer of 2023 when he decided to move to Inter Miami. After hanging up his boots at the end of the 2025 season, Busquets is now embarking on the path towards a potential career as a head coach.

Busquets to work alongside Juliano Belletti

Busquets' first assignment will be at Barça Atlètic under Juliano Belletti. The Brazilian will have the former midfielder as part of his coaching staff for a season focused on developing players closer to the first team.

For FC Barcelona, his addition brings the accumulated experience of 722 matches with the first team down to the youth setup. Busquets also knows the journey from the youth ranks to establishing himself in the professional squad, a path he will now follow from the sidelines.

Sergio Busquets' next step will involve completing his coaching education while working daily alongside Belletti. FC Barcelona thus welcomes back one of its most capped players, this time in a technical role and with Barça Atlètic as the starting point for his new career.
