FC Barcelona have terminated the contract of sporting director Eric Abidal less than 24 hours after sacking Quique Setien as head coach.
The French former full-back is the latest to have been shown the door, with Josep Maria Bartomeu still not prepared to offer his own resignation.
The Catalan club announced the sacking of head coach Quique Setien on Monday following a dreadful end to the 2019-20 season, Barca having conceded the Liga title to eternal rivals Real Madrid and crashing out of the Champions League in dramatic style.
Abidal, was a former Barcelona defender and two-times Champions League winner with the club, had been in the role for over two years.
