Barcelona part ways with Garcia Pimienta - report

Barcelona have reportedly parted ways with B team coach Francisco Javier García Pimienta.

The Catalan giants are said to have ditched the 46-year-old and are looking at totally remodeling La Masia, according to Mundo Deportivo’s Ferran Martinez.

The news is also being reported by Barca’s ESPN correspondents and comes as a real shock with García Pimienta having done a fine job with Barca B over the last three years where he’s worked with players such as Alex Collado, Ronald Araujo and Riqui Puig.

The team made it to the promotion playoffs again last season under García Pimienta but missed out after losing to UCAM Murcia following an epic penalty shootout.
