BARCELONA, Spain -- Barcelona hired Luis Enrique as its new coach on Monday, hoping the former player can help restore the clubs recent success following its first season in six years without a major trophy. Abry Jones Jersey . Barcelona said on its website that Enrique agreed to a two-year deal, but did not disclose further details. He will replace Argentine coach Gerardo Martino, who stepped down on Saturday immediately after the club failed to defend its Spanish league title. The 44-year-old Enrique is one of the few players to have had successful careers with both Real Madrid and Barcelona, having left the former in 1996 to join its archrival. He stayed at Barcelona until 2004. He had been widely expected to be appointed as the clubs new coach after stepping down from his position at Celta Vigo last week, and will restore a line of in-house managers most recently continued by Pep Guardiola and Tito Vilanova. Barcelona also said goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen is joining the club from German side Borussia Monchengladbach to replace Victor Valdes, who is leaving on his own accord. In other moves, Barcelona said it was bringing back forward Gerard Deulofeu from Everton and midfielder Rafina Alcantara from Celta, after both young talents were loaned out last season to acquire playing experience. The Catalan club said goalkeeper Jose Pinto would not be returning after six-and-a-half seasons as Valdes backup and starter in the Copa del Rey. Barcelona also ensured on Monday that star forward Lionel Messi would remain the centerpiece of its squad after finalizing an extension of his contract that will reportedly make the clubs all-time leading scorer the worlds highest-paid football player. The 26-year-old Messi will earn a reported $27 million per season with further incentives able to drive the deal up to $34 million per year until the contract ends in 2017-18. Enrique will be tasked with rekindling the competitive edge that Messi and his teammates lacked at critical moments throughout the season that it started well but finished in its worst form since before Guardiola took over in 2008. Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu announced on Saturday following Barcelonas 1-1 draw against new champion Atletico Madrid that a number of players would not be returning. So even more changes are to be expected to renew a team that had stayed at the top of European football for the last half decade with its core made up of Messi and Spanish internationals in Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta. After starting his playing career with Sporting Gijon, Enrique played for Madrid for five seasons and helped it win one league title before signing with Barcelona. The forward went on to play eight campaigns for Barcelona, helping the team win two league titles in his first two seasons and becoming the team captain in his last two years before retiring. As a member of the Spanish national team Enrique played in three World Cups and won the 1992 Olympic gold medal. Following in Guardiolas footsteps, Enrique returned to coach Barcelonas B-team from 2008-2011 before he spent one troubled season in charge of AC Roma, where he stepped down in 2012 with one year remaining on his contract. He returned to the Spanish league last season to take over Celta, incorporating former Barcelona B-team charge Rafina. After a difficult start, he guided the modest Celta side to a ninth-place finish in the 20-team league. Enrique will be presented on Wednesday. Mychal Rivera Jersey . Millsap will miss Wednesday nights game against the Chicago Bulls. The Hawks say Millsap also will be held out on Thursday at Boston. Jermey Parnell Jersey . -- The Orlando Magic finally are showing the patience in critical moments that coach Jacque Vaughn has been waiting for all season. http://www.authenticjaguarslockroom.com/Youth-Arrelious-Benn-Elite-Jersey/ .C. -- Duke sophomore Rodney Hood is entering the NBA draft.CORNER BROOK, N.L. - His tournament didnt start the way he wanted it to, but Winnipegs Braden Calvert made up for early disappointment the rest of the way.The defending champion and his rink from Manitoba scored a deuce in the 10th end on Sunday to defeat Saskatchewans Jacob Hersikorn 8-6 in the 2015 Canadian junior curling championships finals.After falling in his opening draw to Quebecs Felix Asselin in preliminary-round action, Calvert and his rink of third Kyle Kurz, second Lucas van den Bosch and lead Brendan Wilson, put together a 10-draw win streak to finish the competition with the gold medal.Im in a little bit of shock right now, said Calvert. Were just overwhelmed and super-excited about winning the national championship, and Im sure itll sink in a little bit more tomorrow.Manitoba never trailed, taking single points in the first two ends, one more in the third and a beautiful chap-and-lie deuce in the sixth to go up 5-2.It wasnt an easy shot, and definitely wasnt easy to look at from the hack, said Kurz of the sixth-end shot. You couldnt see the inside of it, and if its heavy at all, its hanging outside and were not getting our deuce. But I had full confidence in him making that shot— he makes those left, right and centre.Saskatchewan would bounce back with deuces in tthe seventh and ninth ends, sandwiched around a Manitoba single to tie the game. Justin Blackmon Jersey. In the 10th, though, Hersikorns last-rock draw attempt came up short and Calvert didnt need to throw his final stone.I think being here once and doing it once definitely helped us focus on what we had to do and helped us handle the nerves a bit better, said Calvert. I thought we were a lot more comfortable this year.Calvert defeated Albertas Karsten Sturmay 7-3 on Friday to lock up a berth in the gold-medal game.Earlier today, Hersikorn threw a double-takeout with the last rock of the game in an 8-6 win over New Brunswick in the semifinals.The clutch shot put Saskatchewan in the final against Manitoba.(Hersikorns) made a lot of shots when we got in trouble. He clutched up and made those draws, hits, triples and doubles, just to make everything possible to get us where we are, said Saskatchewan third Cole Tenetuik.Sundays win marked Manitobas third straight Canadian juniors mens gold medal, after Calverts victory last year and Matt Dunstones win in 2013. Calvert and his rink will represent Canada at the upcoming world junior curling championships beginning Feb. 28 in Tallinn, Estonia.Note to readers: This is a corrected story.
