Josep Bartomeu, who took over as chairman of Barcelona in 2014, has received a lot of criticism recently.
Last summer, information came that Lionel Messi wanted to leave the club due to dissatisfaction with the board.
The superstar has been critical.
Today, Bartomeu confirmed that he and the board are leaving their assignments for the club.
"It's deplorable"
There have also been reports that Bartomeu hired a public relations agency to criticize Barcelona players.
Defender Gerard Pique commented on it a few days ago.
- I, as a Barcelona player, see that the club has spent money, money that it now wants back (in salary reductions) on criticizing us players in the team. It is deplorable, Pique said according to TT.
