the president of Barcelona, Joan Laporta, confirmed that the former player Deco is one of the candidates to assume the post of director of football. The current holder of this position, Mateu Alemany, will leave the Catalan club at the end of this season.
Alemany “received a great proposal from the Premier League”, according to Laporta, and has already announced his departure in the middle of this year.
However, for him to take over Barca’s football directorate, Deco would have to give up his career as an agent. The Brazilian naturalized Portuguese has a player representation agency and is even the agent of Raphinha, a Brazilian striker for Barcelona.
“Deco, who already works with us as a representative of the club in Brazil, can take the leap. If he is the sporting director, he will have to leave the representation agency”, commented Laporta to the channel. TV3from Catalonia.
Deco was a Barcelona athlete from 2004 to 2008 and has become one of the big names in the club’s recent history. Since leaving the pitch, the former player has stayed close to the club by frequently interacting with team officials and thanks to his career as a sports agent.
