FOOTBALL NEWS:-Barcelona ax director of football Andoni Zubizarreta; Carles Puyol quits club



It's been a turbulent start to 2015 for leading Spanish club Barcelona as it sacked director of football Andoni Zubizarreta, while Carles Puyol decided to step down from his assistant sporting director role.
Zubizarreta's dismissal follows Sunday's disappointing 1-0 La Liga defeat to Real Sociedad and the news last Tuesday that the club had lost its appeal to the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS) following the decision to ban it from being able to sign new players over the next 12 months.
A former goalkeeper for the club, Zubizarreta had been responsible for Barcelona's transfer business since returning to the Camp Nou in July 2010.
"The FC Barcelona President Josep Maria Bartomeu has decided to terminate as of today the contract of the Club's Director of Football, Andoni Zubizarreta," an official Barcelona statement read.
"The President, in the name of the Club, thanks Andoni Zubizarreta for his contribution, dedication and professionalism over the last four years in his role at the head of the Club's football area."

Sir Alex Ferguson’s former assistant, Mike Phelan, believes that Ronaldo “would listen” if United made him an offer to return but Di Maria suspects that his current success in Spain would eventually win out. “I don’t think he is coming back to Manchester,” the winger told Radio America of his former team-mate. “It’s hard to quit Real Madrid. “Maybe, but I think he’s having a great time and I don’t see that he wants to change.” Ronaldo is the favourite to retain the Ballon d’Or when Fifa hands out the prize for 2014 on January 12
