Barça’s director of football will leave on June 30, a year before his contract expires, although he “promised to close all first-team operations this summer”
Barcelona’s director of football, Mateu Alemany, will leave the Catalan club on June 30, a year before the culé’s contract expires. Barça surprised this Tuesday evening, after the victory against Osasuna, by announcing that Mateu Alemany was leaving the club “to start a new professional project”.
The Balearic CEO told Barcelona president Joan Laporta “of his intention to take a new path, but guarantees to complete the entire summer market with the entity,” according to a statement from the Catalan club.
“So, although he will end his cooperation with the club on July 1, thanks to an amicable agreement, Mateu Alemany has promised to close all first team operations this summer, even if there are some that are completed in the last minute market,” he added. Barça looked to their still director of football, who joined the first team structure when Laporta won the last election.
Barça recalls that Mateu Alemany allowed the club to “close operations that seemed impossible and provide the coach with competitive teams, within the economic problems that still exist.” “The president of Laporta accepted this march because of Mateu’s commitment to lead the summer market until the last operation and to be consulted when the club requires it. “FC Barcelona will soon announce changes in the structure of the executive football administration after Mateu Alemany’s farewell is announced,” the Barça entity’s press release concluded.
