Former Barcelona player Henrik Larsson has joined the club's coaching staff on a two-year deal.

Larsson, 48, spent two seasons at Barca as a player from 2004 to 2006, claiming two La Liga titles and  Champions League trophies.

Former FC Twente and Hoffenheim head coach Alfred Schreuder has also joined Ronald Koeman's backroom team.

Koeman left his role as Netherlands boss to succeed Quique Setien as Barcelona head coach on Wednesday.

The Dutchman played alongside ex-Sweden striker Larsson at Feyenoord between 1995 and 1997.

Since his retirement from playing in 2009, he has coached Landskrona, Falkenberg and Helsingborg in his homeland.
