Today, Joan Laporta spoke to all FC Barcelona supporters about the club’s future and announced several major changes.
Contrary to popular belief, Joan Laporta won’t continue with several elements that FC Barcelona still has this season. His plan was already destined to make some important modifications but winning more titles than they did this season would’ve been different. Since they weren’t able to win anything but the Copa del Rey, heads will have to roll at the Catalan club.
We saw last week was crucial for Ronald Koeman and his future. Failing to compete for La Liga in a crucial week, the Dutch manager completely choked when it mattered the most. Laporta took notes after this and met with the Dutch gaffer in order to discuss the future. Although we didn’t get to know what they talked about, Joan hinted at his possible exit from the club. During a general address to the club’s supporters, Laporta revealed when the decision-making process will start.
Laporta bemoans Barcelona’s failures.
In a statement picked up by Sport, this is what Laporta said about the season that’s about to end for Barcelona: “A cycle is about to end as we enter a renovation process. I did mention we would make the proper decisions after looking at the results and the team’s performance. We won the Copa del Rey and we are very proud about that.
“But we got eliminated too soon from the Champions League and we lost La Liga in an unexpected manner. Starting next week, we will make the decisions in order to build a highly competitive squad for next season. Our goal is to win Champions and La Liga titles. When I speak about the end of a cycle and renovations, it’s because that’s what I believe needs to be done.”
