Aleksander Sekulić has been announced as the new coach for the Spanish club Barcelona. The Catalan team confirmed that the 48-year-old has signed a two-year contract, which will keep him with the club until June 30, 2028. This appointment marks a historic moment, as Sekulić will be the first Slovenian coach in the club’s history.
Sekulić joins Barcelona after leading the Dubai-based team to a league title last season. Prior to his tenure in Dubai, he also gained significant coaching experience leading the Russian side, Zenit. In his new role at Barcelona, he will succeed Xavi Pascual, who is slated to take charge of the Dubai team in the upcoming season.
Currently, Sekulić also holds the position of the Slovenian national coach, a role he has held since 2020, taking over the national team following the conclusion of the 2020-2021 season. His move to Barcelona solidifies his status as a prominent figure in international coaching circles. The announcement confirms his commitment to the Blaugrana, placing him at the helm of the club’s coaching staff.
This transition sees him move from national team duties and successful regional club management to taking on the head coach role at one of Spain’s most storied football institutions.
