Where is Puyol now?

Barcelona’s Carles Puyol is hanging up his boots to join the club’s Football Department as Assistant Sporting Director starting next September, according to a statement made by the club.

Is Puyol the best defender ever?

Carles Puyol is undeniably one of the greatest defenders to grace a football pitch. But fans forget the hard path he took to get the legacy he has today. The Spaniard is renowned for being the pillar of Barcelona’s defence. Throughout his career, he reached the absolute pinnacle of the sport.

Why did Puyol stop the celebration?

Really, that was very nicely done. Anyway, Barca captain Carles Puyol was none too impressed. And for good reason—the Rayo fans were booing and hissing his teammates’ bad sportsmanship. So the Permed One ran over, scolded them both, ended the dance fest and got on with it.

Why did Puyol retire so early?

The 36-year-old defender played his final game for Barcelona last May after 15 years at the club – as retirement was forced upon him due to a knee injury. But Mundo Deportivo now report that Puyol is back in training and could return to action should he be offered a deal.
