Puyol begins new Barca role

Carles Puyol has begun his new role with Barcelona as the club’s deputy director of football.

The former defender retired in May after 15 years with the Catalan giants, during which time he amassed 21 titles, and met with his boss Andoni Zubizarreta at Barca’s Joan Gamper training facilities on Monday.

Puyol joined Zubizarreta in watching Luis Enrique’s first-team training session, having also attended a session two weeks ago, although not many first team players were present because of international commitments.

The 36-year-old was in the director’s box for Barcelona’s home game with Athletic Bilbao at the weekend.
