Juan Carlos Unzue has been appointed coach at Celta de Vigo, the Galician club confirmed in a statement on their web page on Sunday evening.

Unzue commits to Celta for two seasons

Just as AS reported yesterday, Unzue, who up until Saturday was Luis Enrique's assistant at Barcelona, has signed a two-year contract with the Galician club. He will be accompanied by his right-hand man Robert Moreno, fitness trainer Rafel Prol and psychologist Joaquín Valdés - all of whom worked alongside Luis Enrique during his stint at Celta.

Celta now have a substitute for Eduardo Berizzo, who will be taking over from Jorge Sampaoli at  Sevilla after guiding the Celestes to the semi-finals of the Europa League and the Copa del Rey.
