THREAD: The sporting structure of @victor_font! From structure to all the names. Let's do this!

OVERALL STRUCTURE. The proposed Board of Directors (voted in by socis and lead by President Font) will have a Director General of Sports who will be the overall responsible for all sports activities at FC Barcelona. I will get to the role of the DGS in a moment. First, the board.

THE BOARD'S ROLE. FCB boards have historically been intervening and pushing for or against sports decisions and every day activities. The @sialfutur board will give responsibility to experts in respected fields and ONLY validate decisions from an economic and institutional POV.

DIRECTOR GENERAL OF SPORTS: Juli Lopez. A unique choice for this very unique role, which requires someone with experience in the world of sport and directive management. Lopez has both. He's one of the most capped B players and a pupil of Johan Cruyff. FCB DNA.

THE ROLE OF JULI LOPEZ. He will help FCB to manage each of the sports consequently and consistently. He will be the link between sports structures and the board. One foot in each camps. He took his degree while playing as a pro and after that he's been a business man in commerce.

With Juli Lopez as the link between Board of Directors and sports sectors to ensure consistent management, we can move on to the Sector of Football, which is after all what we're all here for. I will go through it slowly, many things need good explaining. The overall chart:

My data acted up, now it' back. On to the Sector of Football of @victor_font's @sialfutur.

GENERAL MANAGER: XAVI HERNANDEZ. As Font has promised before, Xavi would arrive on the first day after elections. The footballing abilities of this man seem almost unlimited, both on and off the pitch. Been discussing this sports structure and his role with Font for FIVE years.

THE CAPABILITY OF XAVI as General Manager, according to @victor_font:

Capacity of managing

Capacity of leading

Capacity of communication

Credibility among all players

Relation with Juli Lopez and all others below him in the structure

Loves FCB

100% Barça DNA

THE CAPABILITY OF XAVI as General Manager, according to @victor_font: Capacity of managing Capacity of leading Capacity of communication Credibility among all players Relation with Juli Lopez and all others below him in the structure Loves FCB 100% Barça DNA

THE ROLE OF XAVI as General Manager would simply be that he has the greatest responsibility of footballing decisions at FC Barcelona. E.g. in terms of signings, he would take the final decision. He could combine this with the role of 1st team coach if Koeman can't continue.

SPORTS DIRECTOR: @JordiCruyff. Lopez and Xavi believe that he is ideal person for this role as DS, responsible for the team, managerial and player structure of all male football teams. Responsibility when signing players will be identifying all team's and coaches' necessities.

JORDI CRUYFF.
Lopez: "He is super intelligent."
Font: "He compliments Xavi very well."

Literal heir of Johan, La Masia canterano, first team player, already showed immense talent as DS. First he converted AEK Larnaca into Cypriot powerhouse after he retired as a player, then..

..Cruyff moved on as DS at Maccabi Tel Aviv, appointing @oscargarciaj, winning their first league in 10yrs and 3 times in a row. In 14/15 they became the first

team to win all 3 domestic trophies. He made himself into a myth with FCB-football. Ask FCB/MTA fan @YishaiFreilich.

THE ROLE OF THE TECHNICAL SECRETARY. To support Jordi Cruyff and the Sporting Direction in day to day technical activities. For example when signing players, they'll analyze the market and propose players for Cruyff and the Sporting Direction. It will be covered by two people:

TECHNICAL SECRETARIES: @TitoBlancoS and (TBA) @FNavarro_3.

Blanco: Former FCB B player and Levante SD from 2016-2019, promoting them to La Liga and made them survive there. Thanks to his base work they're now a mid-table club in the league. Will also be La Masia coordinator.

Blanco has known and worked with Xavi for decades, starting in the youth categories of La Masia where they both played, to Blanco's jobs in the Union of Spanish footballers, including a job as Vice-President. Also another student of Cruyff's philosophy in the early 90s.

Blanco: "For me, Xavi is a person who can work on a high level, he's steadfast, persevering. My job will be to work in all sporting facets, to report and help the Sporting Direction. And to help out at La Masia. It's a dream for me to work at this club."

FERNANDO NAVARRO. The second part of the Technical Secretary. Been Monchi's right hand since May 2019, just 38 years old. Formed at La Masia and ex-FCB first team player, now disciple of Monchi. Perfect mix, top talent! Can't be announced now because of contractual obligations.

FIRST TEAM and B COACHES. They, like we, hope that results improve, as Koeman will evidently remain coach until elections. IF NOT, Xavi could take over as coach and still be GM. They also speak of a regular working relation between 1st and B coach, like Cruyff and Quique Costas.

There should be no doubts about Xavi's coaching abilities. Compared to four trophies in four years as player at Al-Sadd, he has won four trophies in just ONE year as their manager. Unquestionable talent. He is currently on his way to his 1st league title, undefeated. 11g, +28GD..

LA MASIA. Two legends will be lead our precious academy: ALBERT BENAIGES and JOAN VILA. Benaiges previously headed it w great success, also discovered Iniesta. Vila was head of methodology for decades before he left under due to (obvious) disagreements with Segura. PERFECT picks.

TRANSVERSAL AREAS.

1. Medical Services.
2. Physical preparation and physiotherapy.
3. Behavior and Psychology Area: Inma Puig and Toni Nadal
4. Methodology Area: Joan Vilá and Paco Seirul·lo
5. Talent management: Emili Ricart

Details later, maybe tomorrow. #SíAlFutur!

1. MEDICAL SERVICES.
2. PHYSICAL PREPARATION AND PHYSIOTHERAPY.

Dr. Cugat (proposed Director) will optimize these areas w his huge exp. A top football doctor in the world has turned into one of Font's frontmen. He said he joined @sialfutur when he heard about the Xavi's ideas.

3. AREA OF PSYCHOLOGY AND BEHAVIOR: IMNA PUIG. Remember when Iniesta suffered from depression in 2009? He recovered after intensively seeing Puig, a renowned psychiatrist. Now Font wants to bring her back. If there's anything this club needs...

3. TONI NADAL. One of the world's best sports coaches, known to be a disciplinarian. Director with responsibility in Institutional Relations, but also going to work day to day with behavioral activity among athletes. Super team with Puig. Less psychological cracks at Barça.

4. AREA OF METHODOLOGY: Joan Vilá and Paco Seirul·lo. This is Vilá's other area other than being a La Masia Director. Seirul·lo is the current Head of Methodology and him staying is very important. No sane candidate would let him go. The perfect team in this area.

5. TALENT MANAGEMENT: Emili Ricart. Pep's favorite physiotherapist who have helped I don't know how many injured FCB players (with Ramon Cugat) with their post-injury rehabs. Especially Abidal owes him a lot. No matter what role he gets, his home is FCB and never should've left.

FEMALE LA MASIA. Juli Lopez announces, that a La Masia for females will be created as a part of their project to empower the female section of the club, which will also be as carefully planned.
