Víctor Valdés is no longer Horta’s coach. The reports that he would resign from his post after Thursday’s game have been confirmed. His own club has done it, which also explains his reasons: “You have been fired from the staff to join a new project. Thank you and good luck!“.
Despite the fact that the former goalkeeper has not spoken publicly, Everything indicates that it will be part of the project of one of the candidates for the presidency of Barcelona. Specifically, as reported this week Mundo Deportivo, will accompany Joan Laporta, the great favorite to win the elections.

The coach, so far, has separated himself from other colleagues, who quickly reach high benches after hanging up their boots. He began his professional career in Moratalaz, a modest team from the Madrid neighborhood. Later, he returned to Barcelona, to take charge of Juvenil A.
His return to Barcelona was not as expected. Three months after his arrival, he was dismissed by bad relationship with Patrick Kluivert, the director of grassroots football. It was even speculated that they were about to come to blows.
After closing his time at Barcelona in a bittersweet way, joined a Third Division bench, that of Horta. Now, with his farewell officially confirmed, he will take a new step in the club of his life. It remains to be seen in what conditions and in what position. At the moment, everything indicates that it will be with Joan Laporta, in the role of coach or coordinator and always in grassroots football.
