Six Barcelona board members resign as they question the club's direction

The La Liga giants must now regroup behind the scenes after a number of high-ranking officials decided to leave

Six Barcelona board members have informed club president Josep Maria Bartomeu of their decision to resign from their respective positions.

Vice presidents Emili Rousand and Enrique Tombas will both depart, alongside directors Silvio Elias, Maria Teixidor, Josep Pont and Jordi Clasamiglia.

Their exits were confirmed via a strongly-worded letter sent to Bartomeu, with the group calling for the club's leadership to be reviewed as soon as possible to ensure Barcelona are able to bounce back from the challenges caused by the coronavirus crisis.
