Barcelona Atlètic coaching staff changes

Overview

In July 2026, former Brazil international Juliano Belletti completed the UEFA PRO coaching course, the highest qualification for football managers. This certification allows him to manage clubs above the second division. Belletti is set to return for a second season as head coach of Barcelona Atlètic, where he aims to secure promotion while continuing his role in talent development alongside first-team manager Hansi Flick.

Following this, former Barcelona captain Sergio Busquets began his coaching pathway at the club’s Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. After retiring from professional play in late 2025 following a stint with Inter Miami, the 38-year-old La Masia graduate held talks with club hierarchy regarding a technical role.

By August 2026, Busquets officially returned to the club to serve as an assistant coach for Barcelona Atlètic. While he works toward the necessary coaching certifications required for senior management, he will join the technical staff led by Belletti. The club intends to utilize Busquets’ extensive experience and deep knowledge of the game to assist in the development of young talent within the academy system.
