On Wednesday the volleyball team lost yet again, this time against Sant Pere i Sant Pau (2-3). It was the fourth defeat in a row and afterwards the team coach was sacked.

Barça’s first season in the Super League was never going to be easy, and things have been made worse by injuries to key players. Coach Pedro Lanero has been forced to use less experienced players and the results have suffered as a consequence.

Unfortunately, after a reasonably good start to the season, the FC Barcelona volleyball team started a run of poor form with four defeats in a row, the last one being on Wednesday against Sant Pere i Sant Pau (2-3). This has led to the sacking of the team’s coach in the search for better results.

Paco Fernández in Vigo

Pedro Lanero is no longer the FC Barcelona coach. For the moment academy coordinator Paco Fernández will become caretaker manager until a final choice is made. Fernández will thus be in charge for the team’s next Super League match this Saturday at Vigo Valery Karpin.
