Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu is facing a premature end to his tenure after a vote of no confidence was called against him.
A group of club members known as ‘Mes Que una Mocio’ - More Than a Motion – triggered the vote after collecting 20,687 valid signatures in support. 16,520 were needed in order to open the referendum.
Bartomeu’s presidency appears to be coming to an end anyway, with the next elections currently scheduled to take place over March 20 & 21 next year.
