First order of business for Joan Laporta after being re-elected as Barcelona president | Barca Universal

"Laporta won more than two-thirds of the vote, as he was able to maintain support from the first-team players, including Lamine Yamal. After a night of celebration at the legendary Luz de Gas venue, the newly elected president has set a frantic pace for his first week back at the helm of Barcelona."

"While Laporta will not officially become the Barcelona president until July 1, his involvement in the day-to-day operations will be immediate. He is scheduled to visit the club offices this Tuesday to meet with the current president and his close friend, Rafa Yuste. The two leaders plan to coordinate a period of cohabitation to manage critical end-of-season tasks."

"Laporta's first priority is to stabilise and encourage the sporting area. He is expected to visit the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper training complex this Tuesday to meet with Hansi Flick and the players. He wants to thank the squad for their public support during the election and to provide a morale boost ahead of the match against Newcastle."
