Ghanaian trio Hafiz, Aziz Issah and Oduro set to work under Barcelona legend Busquets at Barça Atlètic.
In a career spanning over a decade, Barcelona legend Sergio Busquets has returned to his roots, taking up coaching duties at Barça Atlètic under the guidance of Juliano Belletti. A respected defensive midfielder in his playing days, Busquets will now focus on nurturing the next generation of Barcelona players, including a trio of Ghanaian talents - Hafiz Gariba, Abdul Aziz Issah, and David Oduro.
These young players, all part of the Barça Atlètic setup, stand to benefit from the wealth of experience Busquets brings to the table. For Ghanaian forward Issah, who recently joined Barcelona’s reserve side from Dreams FC, and Oduro, who has been working to establish himself within Barcelona’s system, having a football icon like Busquets in their corner presents a valuable chance to learn from a player who knows the ins and outs of success at one of the world's biggest clubs.
Busquets' tenure at Barcelona included 15 seasons, 722 appearances, and a key role in one of the club's most successful eras. He secured nine LaLiga titles, three Champions League crowns, and numerous other major accolades before retiring. His understanding of the game, particularly positioning, passing, and controlling tempo from deep, could be especially beneficial to the Ghanaian trio's development.
For Hafiz, Issah, and Oduro, working under Busquets offers an unparalleled opportunity to absorb the mentality, discipline, and tactical intelligence required to thrive at the highest level of football. As Busquets embarks on his coaching journey, the Ghanaian trio eagerly awaits the chance to make the most of this unique opportunity and continue their growth under the tutelage of one of Barcelona’s greatest-ever midfielders.
