Barcelona have confirmed that Victor Valdes will no longer be the coach of Juvenil A.
Official statement:
C Barcelona has told Víctor Valdés that he is no longer the coach of Juvenil A.
Artiga Franc, until now coach of Juvenil B and in the La Masia since 2010, becomes the coach of Juvenil A. (End)
The former Barca goalkeeper has already said goodbye to his players last Friday. His dismissal comes as a result of a final discussion between Valdés and the sports director of training football, Patrick Kluivert.
The 37-year-old, who made over 500 appearances for the club, stepped up to youth team coach in July - during the same period Kluivert took over as head of La Masia academy - but the relationship between the pair is said to have soured to such an extent that Valdes has been booted out.
