Oscar Grau dismissed from his role as CEO at Barcelona
Grau will be replaced by Reverter and the club will not find another role for him
Oscar Grau is no longer the CEO of FC Barcelona. Grau joined the club in September 2016 under Josep Maria Bartomeu but will not continue under new president Joan Laporta.
New CEO Ferran Reverter told Grau of the news on Tuesday after the decision was made at a meeting on Monday, with Pere Jansa, the director of the club's social ara, also let go.
Grau, a former handball player at Barça, is one of few ex-athletes to reach a position of such authority at the Catalan club.
In recent weeks, following Laporta's election in March, he had been working with Reverter, who cannot be officially appointed 'full time' until the end of June, when his role with MediaMarkt ends.
The decision has not come as a surprise at the club, although it had been speculated Grau could take on Albert Soler's job as director of professional sports (non-football).
However, it seems Xavier O'Callaghan could take on that role, another former handball player who has been working at the club's New York office.
