FC Barcelona has officially announced that one of the club’s most important and visible employees, Ramón Planes, has left by mutual agreement.
He had worked as technical secretary since 2018, first as an adjunct to Eric Abidal. He was promoted after Abidal was let go.
Planes had wide experience in Spanish football and also had a stint working for Tottenham Hotspur in England.
He was most recently working with Getafe before Josep Maria Bartomeu hired him to compensate for Abidal’s lack of experience. With the election of Joan Laporta, and the club’s poor performance over the past few years, Planes’s time seemed numbered.
