Patrick Kluivert has been appointed director of youth football at Barcelona on a two-year contract.
The role marks a return for the former Netherlands international to the club where he spent six seasons as a player.
Kluivert will be responsible for overseeing the famed La Masia academy, which produced Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets.
I am very happy to be back home and looking forward to this new era, with the challenge of keeping Barca among the top teams in the world, Kluivert said.
I grew up at the Ajax academy, which is very similar to La Masia, and I think I can do a lot for the development of young Barca players.
