Mr Enrique will be taking over from the Argentine, Mr Gerardo Martino (51), who had a very disappointing first season in charge of the Catalan team. Martino resigned after the club's worst season in six years.
Barcelona's chance of winning a title this season was dependent on them winning their last match, while their opponents - the league leader Atletico Madrid, needed just a draw to clinch the title.

| Luis Enrique |
The game which was played last Saturday ended in a 1 - 1 draw, and Atletico Madrid clinched the Spanish La Liga trophy.
The task of Luis Enrique is to rejuvenate the team, and bring it back to winning titles for the fans.
As a player, he played for the two Spanish giants and rivals - Real Madrid and Barcelona and he won trophies with them. He won three La Liga titles, and one Uefa Cup winners Cup and retired in 2004. He joined Barcelona from Real Madrid in 1996.
After retiring, Mr Enrique took over the coaching of Barcelona B team from his former team-mate Pep Guardiola in 2008. He left after a successful three seasons tenure.
In 2011 he became the head coach of AS Roma, but left after just one season as the team did not qualify for European competitions.
Then in 2013 he became the head coach of Celta de Vigo, and now he has gone back to the club, which he captained as a player, after a season at Celta Vigo. Read also. africanfootie.blogspot.com
