Breaking News: Luis Enrique signs contract extension until 2017

Barcelona coach, Luis Enrique has extended his contract with the current European champions until the summer of 2017.

The former Celta Vigo manager won three titles for the Catalans in his first season at the club and has put an end to speculations about his future.

The former Blaugrana midfielder only took charge last summer and led the Catalans to a remarkable treble in his first season at the helm.

Barca, though, have now rewarded the ex-Spain international for a stunning finish to the 2014-15 campaign by handing him a contract extension.

"We've closed the deal for Luis Enrique to remain as Barcelona coach until 2017," Blaugrana president Josep Maria Bartomeu stated on Tuesday.

Luis Enrique spent eight seasons at Barcelona as a player, winning both La Liga and the Copa del Rey twice following his controversial 1996 move from Real Madrid.

The 45-year-old also started his coaching career at Camp Nou in 2008, spending a year at the helm of the club's B team before taking charge of Roma in 2012.

After an unsuccessful spell at the Stadio Olimpico, Luis Enrique restored his reputation at Celta before returning to Catalunya in May of last year, succeeding Gerardo Martino as Barca boss. Goal
