Eric Avidel, who has become one of the symbols of Barcelona's failure in the last six months, has officially parted ways with the Catalan club. The professional manager who was fired two days ago together with coach Kika Stein, said goodbye tonight (Thursday) to Barça fans on his Instagram account.

"This is already my second farewell from the club. The second farewell took two years, during which I tried to make the team better," wrote the former professional manager, "I finished two very busy seasons at the club in my personal decision. Although the board approved my continued employment last Monday, I decided I resigned. "

 "I want to take the opportunity and say goodbye to everyone. It is important to separate two periods - being a player in Barcelona and having a role in management. Unfortunately I tried to make changes that were very important to the team's future, at least I thought so, but despite everything, I did not succeed. "In conclusion, it is time to end my relationship with Barcelona. Goodbye."
