Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu, whose tenure has been undermined by tense relations with players this season, wants to reform the club’s management because he distrusts certain directors, according to vice-president Emili Rousaud.
“Bartomeu called me and told me he wanted to change the management because he was suspicious of some of the directors, I included,” Rousaud, who had been tipped to succeed Bartomeu as president, told Cadena Ser radio on Wednesday. “He told me things had been leaked to the press that upset the players and he thought I had been critical of how the board had handled it.”The relationship between Barca’s players and the board has been strained for several months, with Lionel Messi’s public criticism of technical secretary Eric Abidal in February just one of a number of off-field controversies.
Messi took another swipe at the Barca board last week when confirming the squad would take a 70 per cent pay cut during the coronavirus crisis.“It never ceases to amaze us that from within the club there were those who tried to put us under the magnifying glass and tried to add pressure to do something that we always knew we would do,” Messi wrote on social media.The controversy further increased the pressure on Bartomeu and the Barcelona board ahead of presidential elections due next year.
