Real Madrid have parted ways with an under-17 coach after he published a note thanking Barcelona, his former employer.
Adria Diaz, an assistant coach for Madrid’s ‘Juvenil C’ side, is in line to be released from his role after writing a thank-you note to Barcelona, according to The Athletic. In the letter, Diaz dubbed Barca “the club of my dreams.”
The coach worked for Barcelona from 2015-2019 in a variety of youth roles. Madrid sources told The Athletic that Diaz is not being fired, and has instead opted to leave voluntarily for an opportunity at second-tier Leganes. Madrid will pay the entirety of his salary, after he penned a one-year contract in July.
