Óscar García Junyent - Club CONFIRM appointment as Head Coach (8.10pm, 26 June)

[Triggaaar]

The excitement on here for this reminds me of, oh, let me see ...... the last time we appointed a manager.

And that manager won us the title in his first full season, then got us to 10th, then 4th. If that happened this time my balls would explode.

Not my words, but the words of...Guillem Balague.

Indeed, I was aware they weren't your words.

Juunyen apparently...

Oh, oh, what are we gonna do?
Juunyen, Juunyen, Juunyen Albion blue
Tunnel to the other side
It becomes daylight
I say he's mine

Oh power, passion plays a double hand
Juunyen, Juunyen Juunyen Albion man
Arrive, climb up four flights
To the other side
Rearrange my mind
In turquoise Juunyen, Juunyen Juunyen Albion blue
Skyline, passion, Union Albion blue

We are finding out more about Oscar...But here are some snippets about our other potential new coaching staff

Head fitness coach Juan Torrijo Navaro and assistant coach Ruben Martinez will be leaving Maccabi Tel Aviv after one year at the club

Head fitness coach Juan Torrijo Navaro and assistant coach Ruben Martinez have announced they will be leaving their roles as head fitness coach and assistant coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv. The club wish to thank Juan and Ruben for their contribution to last season's championship and wish them the best of luck in the future. MTA sports director Jordi Cruyff said that "We are sad to lose two such outstanding professionals as Juan and Ruben who contributed so much to winning the title this past season, but we fully understand their desire to continue their partnership with (ex-head coach) Oscar Garcia".

]Juan Torrijo Navaro arrived at Maccabi last summer after 16 seasons in a similar role at the Spanish La Liga side Valencia CF, where he shared in one of the most successful periods in the club's history. During that time the team were two-time winners of the league championship, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup and added to that one UEFA Cup and a European Super Cup. Torrijo was also on board when Valencia reached the finals of the Champions League in two successive seasons, 2000 and 2001.

Ruben Martinez Caballero also arrived to Maccabi last summer together with ex-head coach Oscar Garcia, with whom he had worked for two years at the FC Barcelona Youth Team. Ruben was born in a town close to Valencia and joined Barcelona's youth system. After three years as the Barcelona Youth Team's goalkeeper he made his anticipated move to the Catelonian club's third squad (FC Barcelona C). A year later he moved up to the club's second group, FC Barcelona B, which plays in the second tier of the Spanish league. After being unsuccessful in his attempts to hold down a position in the senior squad (apart from one match and then only on the bench), he moved to Deportivo Leon in the third tier of Spanish football.

Ruben spent the following seasons with third division sides Zamora, Novelda, Hercules (with whom he was promoted to the second division) and Badalona. In the summer of 2010 he retired from active play after having begun in his last year to work as a scout for former Bulgarian and Barcelona star Hristo Stoichkov's football academy in Barcelona. In the two years prior to joining Maccabi Ruben worked at Barcelona's Youth Team, analysing specific video material for goalkeepers and also for the first team and for rival clubs.

Serious trouser disturbance time.

Orlandi’s goal against Blackpool will now be the norm for us. I have visions of lumbering Championship midfielders and defenders chasing shadows as our flairmeisters run rings round them.

Perhaps the East Stand can contribute a lovely shiny guitar accompaniment? Might need a bit of practice.

Junyent, there's no need to feel down

I said Junyent, cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy

Junyent, there's a place you can go.
I said Junyent, when you're short on your dough
You can stay there, and i'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.

Anyone Know how to pronounce Junyent?

Sorry if fixtures but this on Wikipedia:

On 26 June 2013 he was announced as the new manager of Brighton & Hove Albion following the sacking of Gus Poyet.

Don't think we will need to worry how to pronounce Junyent will we?. He will simply be known as Oscar Garcia.

A translation from the comments section of Marca (Spanish newspaper)

Looks good Oscar's future as coach. Champion of Spain with the Catalan sub-18 in 2010, treble of League, Cup and Champions Cup with the Juvenil A Barca in 2011 (for the first time in the history of the club, said fast). Then there was to train to Barcelona B in Segunda but Rosell Barca threw him for smelling and preferred Cruyffismo Eusebio put the inept. Finally he goes to Maccabi in 2012 and makes a season league champions for the first time in 10 years. It can not be coincidence so successful in such a short time.

I hope he sorts that out before he starts!
