Cruyff to coach Catalonia side

Former Holland and Barcelona star Johan Cruyff is to take over as coach of the Catalonia regional team in Spain, the Catalonia Football Federation said Monday.

It said Cruyff would be officially unveiled on November 9 in the Catalan capital of Barcelona.

The Catalonia team is not affiliated with either FIFA or UEFA, but does play international and regional friendly matches.

Cruyff, 62, a three-time European footballer of the year, started his career as a teenager at Ajax before going on to enjoy huge success with Barcelona, as a coach and a player, and with the Dutch national side.
