Xavi O'Callaghan will replace David Barrufet as the new manager of the handball section. He will also be in charge of the futsal and roller hockey sections, apparently.

This is really a cost saving measure. But come on... One thing it would be to be a Director of 3 sports, but to manage a team from one sport and be the Director of two others...

BUT, we win internally at roller hockey and handball without much effort and it's all about the european competitions, so... I guess Xavi O'Callaghan will be able to do everything. Still not a big fan of the move.


EDIT: I guess i misunderstood. I thought manager was the guy choosing the team, but Xai Pascual is the manager/coach. I guess you meant Director of maximum responsible of the handball section.

Yes, manager or director, whatever the title is, the person who overseas the entire section, not the coach.

No idea who will replace Xavi Pascual right now, read that there are several candidates and scenarios, one of which would be akin to a "handball version of Pep".

I'm more in favor of this measure if he is the Manager/Director of 3 sections. I'm not against that.

I think we can give a "handball version of Pep" a try. Since internally we're so dominant, we can develop a coach.

Laporta has confirmed Antonio Carlos Ortega as the new coach. He's currently coaching TSV Hannover.

Just checked, Hannover-Burgdorf is currently sitting in the 13th place of the German handball league, meh. Is Ortega getting hired because he is somehow good or promising, or because he was a member of the so-called "Dream Team" that we had?

Xavi Pascual has signed a 3-year contract with Dinamo Bucharest. His son Alex Pascual and Cedric Sorhaindo will also join him there.
