Barcelona legend addresses rumours of running for club president: ‘Things would have to change drastically’ Few figures in modern Barcelona history carry the same influence and connection to the club as Gerard Pique. From his days as a dominant centre-back to his ventures off the pitch, he has long been viewed as a potential future president of Barcelona. But for now, that possibility remains in the realm of speculation.
Following the recent re-election of Joan Laporta, who secured his position at the helm of the club until 2031 after defeating Victor Font , the immediate future of Barcelona’s leadership appears settled. Still, Pique’s name continues to surface whenever discussions about the club’s long-term direction arise. Opening up on the presidency During a recent live-stream conversation with DjMaRiiO (h/t SPORT ), Pique was directly asked whether he sees himself running for the presidency in the next election cycle.
Caught slightly off guard, Pique responded, “In the next election? ” He then expanded on his current commitments and why thinking that far ahead is not realistic at this stage. Pique has opened up on running for the Barcelona presidency.
