Joan Laporta finalizes the signing of Artur Mas’s former right-hand man

BarcelonaAs ARA has been able to confirm, Joan Maria Piqué will become part of Barça’s communication department. If the talks come to fruition, the former right-hand man of the former president of the Generalitat Artur Mas – he was his communications manager in the presidency of the Government – will enter the club to take charge of its international communication. He will fill the vacancy of Sandra Hors, who recently left the Barcelona club to accept another job offer.

Until a few days ago, Piqué was director general of Analysis and Strategic Planning of Foreign Action under Minister Victòria Alsina, but he had also held positions during the period of Carles Puigdemont – with whom he also collaborated in the ‘exile— and Quim Torra. At the Ministry of the Interior he had collaborated with Miquel Buch and also with Ramon Tremosa during his brief time at Empresa.

The recent government crisis has prompted changes in the portfolio and Piqué, very well connected with the current board of directors of Barça, has found a quick job alternative. The journalist from Lleida trained at the University of Navarra will enter a department led by Àlex Santos since Laporta won the elections of March 2021. In fact, the current head was the one who coordinated the relationship with the media throughout the campaign of the candidacy We love Barça. Jordi Finestres also came to work at the club with the change of government, in this case assigned to the area of ​​presidency, although he is closely related to the day-to-day in the field of communication. Santos and/or Finestres usually accompany the Blaugrana expedition in all the trips of the first football team.
