Read our privacy policy Eric Abidal has left his role as Barcelona’s sporting director with immediate effect, the club have confirmed. “The club would publicly like to thank Éric Abidal for his professionalism, commitment, dedication and the close and positive nature of his relationship with all aspects of the blaugrana family.” Abidal, a former Barca defender and two-times Champions League winner with the club, had been in the role for over two years but has been let go after one of the club's worst seasons in recent memory. He was also the target of criticism from Lionel Messi earlier this year, who accused his former team mate of blaming the squad for Ernesto Valverde getting sacked as coach last January.
