Luis Enrique's in-tray: The five areas Barca's new boss must address

It's time for change. Barcelona lost La Liga to Atletico Madrid on Saturday evening and coach Gerardo Martino revealed after the match that he would be stepping down with immediate effect. The Argentine has now been replaced by Luis Enrique, who announced on Friday that he would no longer be in charge at Celta Vigo after a sole season at the helm of the Galician club and was confirmed by Barca to take over for the next two years after a board meeting in the Catalan capital on Monday.
President Josep Maria Bartomeu had promised significant alterations on Saturday. "Now comes a time for deep changes," he said after the game. "Sunday will be a day of reflection and on Monday we'll meet and make decisions." And he was good to his word as Barca confirmed Luis Enrique's appointment later on Monday. So ahead of the Asturian's arrival, here's a look at what he'll need to address when he takes over at Camp Nou this summer.
