Official: Joan Laporta confirms Barcelona's new board of directors
After a late shuffle, Laporta has appointed 18 directors to support him as president
Joan Laporta is now officially the president of FC Barcelona and as such as named his board of directors who will accompany him.
Laporta was finally sworn in on Wednesday after beating Victor Font andtoni Freixa in the elections 10 days ago, taking over 50 percent of the votes from club members.
As Barça president, he will be joined by 18 directors. They are: Rafael Yuste, Maria Elena Fort, Ferran Olivé, Josep Maria Albert, Xavier Barbany, Miquel Camps, Alfons Castro, Josep Cubells, Antonio Escudero, Juli Guiu, Jordi Llauradó, Josep Ignasi Macià, Aureli Mas, Xavier Puig, Àngel Riudalbàs, Eduard Romeu, Joan Solé and Joan Soler.
Laporta's team suffered a setback over the weekend when Jaume Giro stepped down from his proposed role as economic vice president before even taking office. Following his departure, Eduard Romeu replaced him after the company he works at, Audax Renovables, helped Laporta secure the bank guarantee.
