He's also not allowed to play for the B team until January right?

I doubt he would play even if he was allowed to. The B team doesn't need goalkeepers at all.

AFTER they promised to give the job to Garcia Pimienta, who is now unemployed. Roura wanted it, and even Lucho had shown towards the decision. But Bartomeu.....
Why would Bartomeu assign the job to someone that Roura and Lucho don't want? That doesn't make sense.
Unless there's a link between Gerard and Qatar of course, didn't Gerard play there before?

Gerard was our player in early 2000's, signed as an expensive wonder-boy from Valencia, but failed to live to expectations.
He was a good squad player for years, though.
I don't how good is he at coaching, but on the field, he was one of our smartest players, he rarely had dumb moments/decisions like Deulofeu/Adama and similar players.
He was more like a Xavi/Pep in the midfield, a smart guy who sees everything.
It is hard to tell how good he will be as a coach, but he is our former player and he was always quite smart, imo.
One of Gerard's matches and goals during our dark era in early 2000's:

Gerard Lopez will be the new Barça B coach. Juvenil A coach Garcia Pimienta will be assistant. Gabri and Antonio part of the staff. [rac1]
So Garcia Pimienta would stay with the club.

After his stint as national team manager, the Catalan will now take on his first management job at the Club.
Gerard arrived at the Club aged 11 and after working his way through the academy system he signed for Valencia in 1997. After a loan period with Alaves, he returned to the Mestalla and soon became a star of the team, attracting the attention of Europe’s leading Clubs, but opting to return to the Camp Nou in the summer of 2000.

He completed his coaching badges whilst working for both the Catalan and Spanish national TV stations as an analyst and in 2013 he took over from Johan Cruyff as the Catalan national team coach.
