Barcelona Extend Pere Romeu’s Contract Through 2028

The club kept Romeu to preserve coaching continuity and charged him with guiding a squad rebuild while keeping La Masia at the centre of player development.

Overview

  • FC Barcelona has formally agreed a two-year renewal that keeps Pere Romeu as head coach until June 30, 2028 and will hold a formal signing and media event in the club president’s office in the coming days.
  • Romeu led Barça Femení to a dominant season that included the UEFA Women’s Champions League win in Oslo and domestic victories in the league, Copa de la Reina and Supercopa de España.
  • The deal follows weeks of delayed negotiations and is framed by the club as both a reward for results and a decision to prioritise internal stability in the coaching staff.
  • The renewed mandate gives Romeu explicit responsibility to manage a generational transition in the squad while sustaining Barça’s pipeline from La Masia amid recent and expected first-team departures.
  • A former youth coach and long-time assistant, Romeu’s promotion in 2024 and his role as the team’s tactical analyst inform the club’s strategy of promoting from within and debuting young players while planning targeted reinforcements.
