[Saba Sports News] There were previous reports in
the Spanish media suggesting that former LaLiga Barcelona star Gerard Pique had
intentions of running for the position of Barcelona chairman. However, a recent
interview with a Barcelona management member shed light on the matter.
According to the interview, Pique has no plans to pursue the role of Barcelona
chairman at the moment. He is currently enjoying his retirement and does not
have any immediate intentions of running for Barcelona president in the coming
years. Since announcing his retirement in November of last year, Pique has
maintained a strong relationship with the club’s senior management. Barcelona
also expressed gratitude towards Pique for voluntarily forgoing his salary and
retiring in order to assist the club during challenging economic times.
