New Barcelona coach Luis Enrique will bring with him his own backroom staff.

The former Celta Vigo boss was unveiled by Barca yesterday.

Enrique will bring two assistant coaches, a fitness coach, a scout and a psychologist.

"He [The psychologist] is for me. And maybe for some of the journalists if need be," he joked.

Juan Carlos Unzué will be Enrique's No2 and Joan Barbará, who already works for FC Barcelona, will move up to first team level to assist with the new coach. Roberto Moreno is the scout, with Rafael Pol taking over as fitness coach and Joaquín Valdés filling the psychologist role.

José Ramón de la Fuente will remain as goalkeeper coach. Francesc Cos and Edu Pons, physical trainers, will also continue to work with the Camp Nou outfit.
