‘I don’t know why I was kicked out’ - Garcia Pimienta talks Barcelona exit

Former Barcelona B boss Francisco Javier García Pimienta has admitted he’s still not sure why the club opted to dispense with his services back in 2021.

García Pimienta had been doing a good job with Barca B, and had even been tipped as a future first-team boss, when the club announced they’d terminated his contract.

He has since moved on to take over at Las Palmas and says he still doesn’t really understand the reasons for his exit.

“I don’t know why I was kicked out. They told me that I would continue for one more year and after two weeks, they kicked me out.
