Francisco Javier García Pimienta (born 3 August 1974), known as García Pimienta, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a left winger, and is the current manager of FC Barcelona B.

Club career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, García Pimienta joined FC Barcelona's youth setup in 1986.[1] After making his senior debut for the C-side in Tercera División, he first played as a professional with the reserves in Segunda División.[2]

García Pimienta made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 26 May 1996, starting in a 2–2 away draw against Deportivo de La Coruña.[3] On 14 July, he was loaned to fellow top tier side CF Extremadura for one year,[4] but appeared rarely after suffering a serious injury which kept him out for the majority of the campaign.

Upon returning, García Pimienta was assigned back to the B-team, achieving promotion from Segunda División B. After a four-month loan at fellow league team UE Figueres, he moved to CE L'Hospitalet in a permanent basis.[5]

García Pimienta retired in 2004 at the age of 29, after playing for UE Sant Andreu.[6]

Managerial career

In 2001, while still a player, García Pimienta was the assistant of Álex García at Barcelona's Cadete squad. He left the club in 2003, only returning three years later now as manager of the very same category.

After progressing through the youth setup,[7] García Pimienta was named Gerard López's assistant at the B-side on 21 July 2015.[8] On 25 October 2017, he replaced Gabri at the helm of the Juvenil A squad.[9]

After winning the 2017–18 UEFA Youth League,[10] García Pimienta was appointed at the helm of the reserves on 25 April 2018, after the sacking of Gerard.[11]
