Orta said: “I’m very excited about what’s to come, I’m really looking forward to it.
"I think we’ve found a perfect coach for the moment. (Garcia Pimienta) was one millimetre away from being coach of Barcelona’s first team in the past.
"I think he’s come at the perfect time in his career. I think he feels ready.”
Pimienta is a former Barca Atletic coach.
