Former Sweden and Barcelona striker, Henrik Larsson has re-joined his old club as part of the staff of new coach, Ronald Koeman, himself a Barcelona legend.

Larsson, 48, who signed a two-year deal, played for the Catalans between 2004 to 2006, winning two La Liga titles and the Uefa Champions League and is also a former teammate of Koeman at Feyenoord between 1995-1997.
