On Monday, Josep Maria Bartomeu swore he had no intention of resigning.
This Tuesday, he… resigns.
As announced by several Spanish sources (RAC1, SPORT, MD), the 57-year-old leader is bending under popular (and internal) pressure by ceding control of the Catalan giant.
All the board of directors returns its apron, anticipating the motion of censure decided by the Socios.
The information has just been confirmed.
A press conference will be held this Tuesday evening.
In place since 2014, Josep Maria Bartomeu had been extremely contested for many weeks, many months, for his management of the club, in particular by Lionel Messi and several locker room executives.
Said Messi had gone out of his way to leave this summer ... The elections were to take place in March 2021. It will be earlier.
