Jesús Unzué, new goalkeeping coach at Barça Atlètic
Unai Alba leaves for Javier Aguirre's Valencia staff, and Jesús Unzué, son of Juan Carlos Unzué, takes over his role with the Barça reserves.
FC Barcelona announced on 30 October that Jesús Unzué will be the new goalkeeping coach at Barça Atlètic, according to Mundo Deportivo. The 32-year-old is the son of Juan Carlos Unzué and has worked in the club's youth categories since 2019, most recently as goalkeeping coach of the Juvenil A.
The move follows the departure of Unai Alba, who spent three years with the reserve team and has accepted Valencia's offer to join Javier Aguirre's coaching staff. The club thanked him for his work, and the coach himself said goodbye on social media with kind words about his time at Barça.
Unzué joins Juliano Belletti's staff alongside Fran Sánchez, Sergio Busquets, Joan Vicente, Rafa Maldonado and Germán Fernández. At the Juvenil A, Àlex Sánchez, until now in charge of the goalkeepers at the Sub-16 and Sub-15 teams, will replace him, while Ferran Montijano stays as goalkeeping coach of the Juvenil B.
