That’s the end, Josep Maria Bartomeu submitted his resignation after the meeting of the presidency of FC Barcelona on Tuesday, writes Sport, as well as several authorized Spanish press products. Along with the club’s first man, the current board members will also step down.
According to the Sports report, Bartomeu decided to resign after the Catalan government (Generalitat de Catalunya) did not agree to postpone the vote of no confidence against him, which should have taken place in the first two days of November. In response, Bartomeu preferred to resign, saying that the members who support the club have an average age of 58 years, and more than 40,000 members are over 60 years old, and in the midst of the epidemic, they do not want to put their health at risk by assigning them to the urns.
Marcal Lorente, a journalist for Mundo Deportivo -who also works for Barca TV- knows that Bartomeu’s resignation was also helped by the fact that he realized that he was risking the stability of the association by remaining in his position. At Tuesday’s board meeting, the board members unanimously decided to leave.
