Former Barcelona icon Deco has signed a three year contract as the club's new sporting director.
Deco first joined Barcelona from Porto in 2004 and won La Liga twice in four seasons, as well as the 2006 Champions League.
Deco also played two seasons for Chelsea following his time in Spain before returning to Brazil and finishing his career at Fluminense in Rio de Janeiro.
Barca said Deco will be in charge of their "sporting philosophy" and work closely with manager Xavi and the rest of the coaching staff.
The club said they are planning a restructure behind the scenes, with details to be announced in the coming weeks. Former sporting director Jordi Cruyff left in May.
