Jordi Roura named new Barcelona youth sports director

Barcelona have named Jordi Roura as new sporting director of their youth system.

Roura is a former first team assistant coach.

He will oversee the youth set up from the very youngest level all the way to Barça B.

A board meeting yesterday also included details of the processes involved in contracting players at youth level, the subject of which the Club was recently subjected to a ban from FIFA which was ratified by CAS. The Board has adopted measures to avoid the mistakes of the past being repeated in the future.
