The reactions to the Lionel Messi announcement did not take long to arrive. Victor Font, one of the pre-candidates for the club's elections next year sent a message on social media.
"There has been no project or anything for a long time, they juggle and cover holes," - Leo Messi. Only with a solid project and hard work can we overcome the challenges for the future. We will reconstruct Barca," wrote Font on Twitter, with a picture of Messi and Xavi together.
Xavi is whom Font will install as the new coach of the club if he gets to take over.
