""Hansi Flick will be my coach, but Deco will not be my sporting director. We will make the structure fit better with Hansi Flick," he began. "We will ensure there isn't a figure like Alejandro Echevarria, who holds no official position yet exerts influence. Deco is a trusted appointment of Laporta and Alejandro Echevarria," he added on Laporta's known close aide."
"When asked to reveal his candidate to be the sporting director, Font said: "[I can't] because he is currently under contract." "What we will see in the coming days is a thoroughly worked-out football project. We'll get to know it next week," he added. The candidate was then asked if it was feasible to work out a presidential change without affecting the manager, to which he responded saying:"
"As the presidential elections approach, uncertainty once again looms in the air of Catalonia as to who will be the club's next elected representative and leader. Joan Laporta continues to be a strong favourite after the team's achievements last season and the improvement under Hansi Flick, but there are several valid reasons to believe that he can be replaced. After all, Laporta's tenure has not been all clean either, and competing pre-candidates have all come out to call for a change in the project."
Victor Font presents a transversal alternative and proposes structural changes at the club. He intends to retain Hansi Flick as head coach while removing Deco from the sporting director role. Font plans to adapt the club structure to better suit Flick and to prevent unelected influencers like Alejandro Echevarria from exerting power. He declined to name his sporting director candidate, citing an active contract, and promised a thoroughly worked-out football project to be revealed next week. Font emphasizes stability for the coach during a potential presidential transition.
