Barcelona Coach Faces Sacking Threat

Barca Atletic Struggling in the First Federation – Group 1

The Barcelona B team, Barca Atletic, is currently facing a tough season in the First Federation – Group 1. After narrowly missing out on promotion last season, they are now battling to avoid relegation. The team has been on a winless streak since mid-December and suffered a 1-0 defeat to Zamora, keeping them stuck in the relegation zone.

Albert Sanchez Under Pressure as Head Coach

Albert Sanchez took over as head coach of Barca Atletic after Rafa Marquez left last summer. However, Sanchez has struggled to replicate the success of his predecessor. With doubts looming over his future, reports suggest that the Barcelona hierarchy is considering a change in leadership.

Barcelona’s board of directors have made it clear that relegation is not an option for Barca Atletic. The pressure on Sanchez has intensified, especially after the recent defeat to Zamora. It seems likely that action will be taken in the coming weeks to address the team’s performance.

Challenges Faced by Albert Sanchez

Sanchez has faced challenges with a weaker squad compared to the previous season. Key players like Marc Casado, Marc Bernal, and Pau Victor have been promoted to the Barcelona first team. Additionally, Mikayil Faye was sold to Rennes, further depleting the squad that came close to promotion in the 2023-24 campaign.

Despite these challenges, Sanchez will need to find a way to turn things around for Barca Atletic to avoid relegation and secure their position in the First Federation – Group 1.
