The presidential election at FC Barcelona has cast a shadow over the entire Spanish football scene and dominated headlines in the Spanish press over the past few days. Key topics include the resignation of Joan Laporta, presidential candidates, and transfer deals. A particularly sensitive issue is the position of the head coach, currently held by German manager Hansi Flick, who won a treble with Barcelona last season. According to the newspaper Marca, defining Barcelona's sporting structure is one of the most critical issues in the presidential election. One of the presidential candidates is counting on Flick, who has only one year left on his contract with the club. However, it is highly likely that the coach will waive the final year of his contract and leave the club. Flick sees himself as part of Laporta's project. Knowing who the head coach, sporting director, and which transfers a candidate will make is of paramount importance. Although the elections have not been officially announced yet, Victor Font, Joan Laporta's main rival, has already made his intentions clear. In an interview with RAC1 radio, Victor Font stated: 'Deco will not be my sporting director. We will build a structure that best suits Hansi Flick, and only after that will we extend the contract'.
