Barcelona's future once again resides in Joan Laporta's hands.
The former club president is in the hot seat for another run after winning Barcelona's presidential election on Sunday, besting Victor Font and Toni Freixa comfortably in a vote conducted by tens of thousands of the club's members. Laporta, who oversaw the great heights achieved by the club during his previous term from 2003-2010, steps into a void left by Josep Bartomeu, the disgraced ex-president who resigned in October when facing a vote of no confidence. Carles Tusquets had been in charge in the interim. Laporta will serve a six-year term upon taking the reins again.
