Recently appointed the Director of Coach Education for Libya, Vinas tutored former Barcelona Head Coach Tito Vilanova and Liverpool Head Academy coach Rodolfo Borrell when working with the Catalan Futbol Federation.

“For the moment I have not worked with Irish Football, but I have much experience in other countries such as Korea, Finland, Norway, USA, Japan,” says Vinas.

He went on to say, “I look forward to the opportunity to work with the Irish market, which I believe is a very exciting market with a lot of talent and potential.

“At Futbol Salou we want to help clubs with every aspect of football, from exposing them to different levels of teams with friendlies, to learning the Catalan philosophy with the master-class or even training the coaches themselves.”
