Barcelona living legend Johan Cruyff will be unveiled as the new coach of Catalonia next week.

Former Holland and Barcelona forward Cruyff, 62, has agreed to take on the role and will be installed on November 9.

His appointment continues a long association with Catalonia and Barcelona in particular.

Cruyff also coached Barca - leading them to four Primera Division titles and their first European Cup in 1992 - and has advised current president Joan Laporta.

Catalonia, a region in north-east Spain, play international friendlies against national teams but are not recognised by world governing body FIFA.
