Who will be in charge of Barça B when pre-season begins on July 13?

Who will be sat on the bench of Barcelona B on July 13 when pre-season training begins?

After Jordi Vinyals was released from the position, everything had pointed towards Garcia Pimienta being his replacement. However, Josep Maria Bartomeu's campaign team have assured that Gerard Lopez will take charge if they win the elections

A few days ago, when the Vinyals news was made official, sources inside the club said that Jordi Roura, the director of La Masia, and Aureli Altimira, the co-ordinator of La Masia, had been speaking with Garcia Pimienta for a while about being the next manager of Barça B. 

However, that could end up being an interim solution if Josep Maria Bartomeu is elected as president again. Or even if some of the other candidates end up having a choice of their own for the Barça B job, too. 

Barça B begin pre-season on July 13. That's five days before the club's elections. For that reason, who will be the coach of the side for those five days? Garcia Pimienta has already planned the whole of pre-season and has taken decisions on which players will stay and go. He also has chosen the coaching staff to help him lead the side back to Liga Adelante. 

Another problem is who will be in charge of the younger age group teams? Roura and Altimira have already revealed that Quique Alvarez, winner of four leagues in a row with the Cadete A side, will take over from Garcia Pimienta as Juvenil A coach. 

And like Alvarez, all the other coaches of the different teams have already been informed about which teams they will take charge of next season.

Let's see how Roura and Altimira manage the beginning of pre-season with Barça's youth teams.
