BARCELONA - Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu resigned from the club on Tuesday ahead of a vote of no confidence that was due to be held next month after some 20 000 fans signed a petition demanding that he step down."It's a thought-out, serene, informed decision" to resign, Bartomeu said in a televised speech.
He had tried to convince the Catalan government to scrap the censure vote due to the coronavirus pandemic but it would not budge. "The easiest thing after the Champions was to resign, but one had to take decisions amid an unprecedented global crisis," he said, adding that later on, in the wake of the Messi spat, he could not let the club be run by external, temporary figures.
