LaLiga: Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu faces vote of no confidence

Firstpost  

A petition against Bartomeu passed the required 16,250 signatures last month and those signatures have been officially verified, a group leading the campaign said on Wednesday. Barcelona edged closer to a change of president on Wednesday when it was confirmed that Josep Maria Bartomeu will face a vote of no confidence after turbulent times at the club. Opinion has turned heavily against Bartomeu but it could be difficult to get members to vote due to COVID-19 concerns and restrictions. Victor Font is one of the leading candidates to succeed Bartomeu and has linked his campaign to the arrival of Messi’s former teammate Xavi Hernandez as coach, although Font suggested this week Ronald Koeman could also continue with Xavi taking up a different role.
