The former head of academy has a new role

A statement by the club read: "Josep Segura has been appointed manager of the Sports Area Football FC Barcelona.

So what will Segura do in his new role? That's a good question, although Barca have promised they will explain their new structure in the coming days.
According to ESPN, Segura will continue to work with the academy but will also "be in charge of the first team's transfer activity" - although as explained above Robert Fernandez's role remains unchanged.
Jordi Cruyff was also reportedly Barcelona's first choice for the new post before he opted to continue with Maccabi Tel Aviv, leading Barca to move for Segura instead.
It's certainly an interesting move, and it looks as though we will learn more later this week.
