FC Barcelona has reached an agreement to sign Gerardo Martino as the new first team manager for the next two seasons. The agreement is still pending the drafting and signing of his contract.

The schedule for his trip to FC Barcelona, signature of his contract and official presentation will be announced in the next few hours

The man known as ‘Tata’, and the new first team boss at Barça, was born in Rosario (Argentina) on November 20, 1962. He has extensive experience of South American football, first as a player and after as a coach, most recently on the bench at Newell's Old Boys, with whom he won the 2013 Final Tournament.

This would make Gerardo Martino the fourth Argentine manager in FC Barcelona history after Roque Olsen, Helenio Herrera and César Luis Menotti.

So many questions to answer...Looking forward to Tata but we shouldn't be expecting too much too quickly...He will need some time to adapt and same for the players

Yeah, it seems like something completely fresh and that's certainly a good thing. After 5 years it's normally a good time to change things about, it's just a shame it's happened in the fashion that it has.

Yeah, I wanted us to get a new coach, but I obviously didn't want it to happen the way it did.

There was some rumour about Messi not wanting Bielsa as coach, anybody knows more about that? Let's see what Martino will bring. I don't know him well to be honest, it will be his first European coaching experience.
