www.fcbarcelona.cat
FC Barcelona wish to communicate that they have reached an agreement with Juan Carlos Unzué to become goalkeeping coach for next season, with an option of a further year.
Carles Busquets, who has filled the post this season, will move to take on the same role with the B
team.
Seven years as goalkeeping coach
Unzué, who played at Osasuna, Barça, Tenerife and Oviedo, re-joined the Club at the
start of the 2003/04 season as goalkeeping coach with Frank Rijkaard and after five years working
with the Dutch manager, he was kept on when Pep Guardiola took over as boss.
One year at Numancia
However, Unzue decided to then move into management himself and took the post at
Numancia and in his first season he took them to tenth spot, clear of relegation and nearly making
the play off positions. After last year’s single season in Soria, Unzué has now returned to
the back room staff at the Club and will begin work when the squad return on July 18th.
