Barca sack B boss Vinyals

Barcelona have sacked Jordi Vinyals from his position as B-team Coach after overseeing the team’s relegation to Segunda B.

The 51-year-old replaced Eusebio Sacristan for the second half of last season but could not arrest the side’s slump as they finished bottom of La Segunda.

“The Technical Commission have considered that [Barca B] have started a new stage in their development and must initiate a period of reflection to restructure the coaching team for next season,” read a statement on Barca’s official website.

The likes of Munir El Haddadi [pictured] and Sandro Ramirez were promoted to the seniors at the beginning of 2014-15, but their return to the second string at the turn of the year did not inspire a revival.

Barca B will be joined in the third tier of Spanish football by Real Madrid Castilla.
