Bakero unhappy with Bartomeu

Former Barcelona captain Jose Mari Bakero has sent a message to Barca President Josep Maria Bartomeu.

The 51-year-old, who played for the Catalans between 1988 and 1997, was widely expected to be one of the frontrunners for the role of sporting director at the Camp Nou following Andoni Zubizarreta’s sacking.

However, Bartomeu has chosen former Milan general manager Ariedo Braida for the position, an appointment that appears not to have gone down too well with Bakero.

“In Barca’s labyrinth, time puts everybody in their place. President, you go your way and I’ll go mine,” he wrote on Twitter.

Since retiring as a player Bakero has been in charge of sides in Spain, Mexico, Poland and Peru but has always retained links with Barcelona.
