MADRID, May 28 (Xinhua) -- Juan Carlos Unzue was on Sunday confirmed as the new coach of Spanish Liga Santander side Celta Vigo.

Unzue, who spent the last three seasons as assistant coach to Luis Enrique at FC Barcelona, was confirmed as the successor to Eduardo Berrizo less than 24 hours after Barca defeated Deportivo Alaves in the final of the King's Cup in the Vicente Calderon.

His confirmation as Celta coach for the next two seasons means he will not succeed Luis Enrique at Barca making it ever more clear than Ernesto Valverde, who last week announced he would not remain for a fifth season at Athletic Club Bilbao, will be named as the new Barca boss in the next 48 hours.

Meanwhile Berizzo is expected to be take over at Sevilla as soon as the club and the Argentinean Football Federation are able to agree a deal which will see Sampaoli take over as the coach at the Argentine national team.
