• Barça The reasons why Laporta keeps Koeman's second plate, with Jordi Cruyff as controller

  • Fútbol Laporta modifies the Code of Ethics of Barcelona to sign his sister

Joan Laporta

continues to carry out an in-depth remodeling of the

Barça

structure

. In this case, with a special emphasis on Barça youth football and on the figure of the one who has been exercising in recent years as spokesman for the entity:

Guillermo Amor

. The former player,

Director of Institutional and Sports Relations

since October 2017, had his contract with the club terminated today. Curiously, his return to the Barça discipline, in the first instance, took place at the hands of Laporta himself, as director of

La Masia

. In the quarry, meanwhile, highlights the dismissal of a

Francisco Javier García Pimienta

who still had one year of contract left as

coach of B

and whose name rang out with great force as a possible head of the first team last year.

The fact that the Barcelonista subsidiary has remained at the gates of the promotion of category in two seasons would be the main argument that is wielded from the club to justify the end of its stage in the entity.

And that, in January of last year, when the

Bartomeu

board

decided to do without

Ernesto Valverde

, in the first place, and about the month of August, later, when

Quique Setién

was struck down

, García Pimienta was outlined as the best option for take over the Barça first team.

A bet that, according to what was openly assured in the Barça environment, would have even had the approval of the main figures in the dressing room.

Almost a year later, instead, it has been decided to kick it.

Sergi Barjuan, the chosen one

Right now, the name that is sounding louder as García Pimienta's replacement at the head of Barça B is that of

Sergi Barjuan

. The former Barça winger has experience in grassroots football, since, since 2009, he took charge for a couple of years of a Juvenil B in which players such as

Gerard Deulofeu or Rafinha Alcántara stood out

. Recreativo de Huelva, Almería, Mallorca and Hangzhou Greentown are the other clubs in which the former Barcelona captain has been practicing as a coach. In the latter case, until July 4, 2019, when the Chinese entity decided to end a relationship that had begun on November 26, 2017.

The revolution that Laporta's board wants to carry out in grassroots football has not been limited to the subsidiary.

Rafael Yuste

, first vice president and head of the sports area, and

José Ramón Alexanco

, new director of the quarry, are in charge of carrying out a series of very profound changes. For now, the entity has already been informed of the rescissions of their respective contracts to

Aureli Altimira

, until now responsible for football 11 and who was one of

Pep Guardiola's

assistants

throughout his time at Barça, and

Álex García

, responsible in the last times of the Barcelona scouting.

Jordi Roura, who was second to

Tito Vilanova

in the first team and with whom the terms of the termination of his contract would be negotiating

, is also being finalized

.
