With the League team elections looming next March, one potential candidate has laid out his plan for how he intends to tackle the task.
Barcelona’s presidential hopeful Lluis Fernández has promised to make the Blaugrana great once again if elected and has expressed his desire to appoint the ‘new Guardiola’ as the club’s next manager.
Acting President Bartomeu, who took office in 2014 following the resignation of Sandro Rosell and was re-elected the following year, has proven to be a divisive figure during his tenure at the Camp Nou.
Despite having presided over a multitude of triumphs, including four La Liga titles and a Champions League crown, the 57-year-old has seen his prestige gradually fade in the eyes of fans.
A sterile campaign in which the club failed to lift any trophies last season, coupled with a bitter public dispute with Lionel Messi over his future at the club, has now prompted a possible vote of no-confidence from members to have him removed from his post earlier. next time. choice of the year.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with objectiveFernandez, who hopes to be on the ballot next March to take over the club, has now criticized the incumbent president for his approach to the club, while outlining his own ambitious proposals should he be elected in the new year.
“He [Bartomeu] I never had a plan, “said the businessman.” He is acting based on improvisation and that cannot be done in Barcelona.
“We need a renovation and I’m not just thinking of Bartomeu. Barcelona cannot be in the hands of the establishment. We have clear ideas to make Barcelona great again.”
Fernández revealed that, if chosen, he would consider reserve coach García Pimienta a credible candidate to take over the first team, pointing to the success of Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick, who rose to the senior team last year with great success. .
Ronald Koeman was appointed coach to a two-year contract last month, and the former Netherlands manager returned to the club where he made a name for himself as a player.
“For the bank, we think of García Pimienta,” added Fernández. “We have Bayern as an example. Nobody knew about Flick and he is a great coach. We believe that Pimienta can become the new Guardiola.”
Fernández also played down the importance of forming an alliance with any other possible candidate, adding: “It is not our intention.
“We want to be the surprise in the new elections. We will listen [from] all but [I] don’t think about a union with other candidates. ”
