Francesc Artiga Cebrián, known as Franc Artiga (born 30 July 1976) is a Spanish football coach who is the manager of the Russian Premier League club Khimki.

Career

[edit]

Artiga worked at La Masia, the youth academy of Barcelona, for more than 10 years, and managed the clubs's Under-19 squad in the 2019–20 UEFA Youth League.[1] Barcelona finished last in their Youth League group. In the same season, the team was declared national champions after 2019–20 División de Honor Juvenil de Fútbol was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain.[2]

On 28 June 2024, Artiga was hired by Khimki, after the club returned to Russian Premier League.[3] Andrey Talalayev secured the club's promotion but was fired in the off-season.
