Bartomeu arrives and the Barça Board of Directors begins
The president of Barcelona entered the Camp Nou offices at 10:55 a.m. to meet with the rest of the Barça club managers on a decisive day for the future of a club that hit rock bottom last Saturday in Lisbon, where a 2-8 historic that must mean a complete turnaround in the reality of the club. The first decisions should be the dismissal of Quique Setién and the announcement of the early elections and the arrival of Ronald Koeman to the Camp Nou bench, although the Dutchman must terminate his contract with the Dutch Federation, with whom he has a commitment until 2021.
The Barça board is made up of 14 managers. In addition to the president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, it is made up of Jordi Cardoner (first vice president and of the Barça Foundation), Jordi Moix (economic and patrimony vice president and is responsible for Espai Barça), Pau Vilanova (institutional vice president), Oriol Tomás (vice president from the institutional area,) Javier Bordas (manager responsible for the first team), Joan Bladé (manager of the basketball section), Didac Lee (manager of the digital area), Josep Ramón Vidal-Abarca i Armengol (manager of the sections), Xavier Vilajoana (manager responsible for women's soccer and grassroots soccer), Marta Plana (secretary of the Board of Directors), Jordi Argemí (manager of the handball section), Jaume Carreter and David Bellver (treasurer).
For now the matter of the coach and the call for elections will fill the Board, which could end in the early afternoon, but surprise should not be ruled out. The rumor mill in days like this is triggered.
