Eric Abidal- Barcelona’s sporting director is going to be one of the first targets of the club’s much-required revamp. According to reports, the director would be removed imminently from his role with Barca trying to muster strength after facing another round of embarrassment from the Champions League. With Bayern Munich side hitting whopping 8 goals in a persistent attack, the La Liga giants had to face a defeat in Lisbon on Friday night. The next step expected to be taken by Josep Bartomeu includes the sacking of the first team manager Quique Setien and Abidal. It is observed that Abdial would be the next one to be out of the door post-Setien’s exit, thanks to his support of the manager.
