Barcelona hired, fired player same day over offensive tweet
Diehard Real Madrid fan Sergi Guardiola’s decision to
write offensive tweets aimed at Barcelona came back to haunt him Monday
when he was hired and fired by the Spanish giants on the same day.
The 24-year-old striker penned a deal with Barca’s B team
but was sacked just a few hours later when angry fans of the Catalan
club made officials aware of Guardiola’s Twitter tirade from 2013,
www.lequipe.fr reported.
His tweets had included “Allez Madrid” and “Fuck Catalans”.
“FC Barcelona has decided to terminate the contract signed
with Sergi Guardiola, after finding that he had published offensive
tweets about the club and Catalonia,” said a Barcelona statement.
