The Clinician:
Mr Puig holds a UEFA Pro License and has over 30 years of youth football experience, including 11 with FC Barcelona, the last four of which he served as the Academy Director. He recently served as head coach of FC Tokyo in the Japanese J-League (top division) and also served as the assistant head coach at New York City. Significantly, Albert also spent several years in California as technical advisor to De Anza force, therefore, holds a deep understanding of the reality and environment that NorCal coaches are working in.

Course Overview:
The course will go deeper into the methodology that Mr Puig presented in 2017 and 2018, which focused on the positional play method he implemented at FC Barcelona. Mr Puig has since implemented that methodology at the youth level in California, the MLS senior level, and Japan’s top division.
