Barcelona Coach Exercises Veto Following Hernandez Opposition
Barcelona’s football operations have taken a firm stance against former supporter Cahid Hernandez following his vocal opposition to club president Joan Laporta during the recent election campaign. According to data from the Association of Catalan Sports (ACS), the current coach has secured a veto regarding invitations for the Barcelona Legends team’s most recent matches. The veto prevented the team from participating in two scheduled games: one in Mallorca and another in Seoul.
ACS reports indicate this restriction will extend to future invitational events. Alejandro Echevarria, the coach’s nephew and a key advisor to Laporta, is reportedly behind the decision. Echevarria was a prominent figure in the campaign, conducting an interview with La Vanguardia that included the statement, “Echevarria is more of a player in the club than Laporta.” Hernandez had previously offered brief comments regarding the Barcelona Legends team.
This action represents a tangible consequence for Hernandez’s public criticism of Laporta. The move underscores the current coach’s position within the Barcelona leadership and highlights the ongoing tensions following the election.
