“Quique Setién, Eder Sarabia, Jon Pascua and Fran Soto communicate that, due to the latest information published, we want to make the next clarification:
After a month of absolute silence by the FC Barcelona board of directors, and after various requirements on our part, it is not until the day of Yesterday when we finally received the first
communications officers, through burofax. These communications reveal the clear intention of the directive not to comply with their employment contracts dated 01/14/2020.
The former technician emphasizes that the communication takes place a month after the announcement of his dismissal “and after various requirements on our part”
In my case, Quique Setién, it is public and notorious that the day 17 of August both the Club and the President they announced my dismissal with immediate effects. However, it wasn't until yesterday, September 16 (one month after), when they sent me, for the first time, the written communication of said dismissal (without any settlement).
Regarding the rest of the coaching staff, they communicated to us, also yesterday, to our surprise, a “future relocation” in the club.
For all that has been said, we have been forced to put the conflict resolution in the hands of our lawyers, having to file the corresponding legal actions. And this, in order to preserve our rights and what was agreed upon with FC Barcelona ”.
