SYDNEY (AP) - Former Barcelona midfielder Guillermo Amor has resigned as coach of Adelaide United in Australian football’s A-League.
Amor informed club chairman Greg Griffin on Wednesday, a day after Adelaide was knocked out of the Asian Champions League.
In his first job as head coach, the 49-year-old Amor, who played more than 300 matches for Barcelona between 1988 and 1998, led Adelaide to the A-League premiership and league title in 2016.
But after losing several members of its grand final-winning team, Adelaide struggled in the 2016-17 season, finishing ninth of 10 teams with only five wins from 27 matches.
After playing most of his professional career with Barcelona, he ended his football career in Scotland with Livingston.
