Eric Abidal took to social media to bid farewell to Barcelona fans after resigning as technical secretary on Tuesday.
The Frenchman explained his decision to depart the Blaugrana despite having one year left in his contract.
“Dear Barcelonistas,
I want to take advantage of these lines to say goodbye to all of you. I do it with the deepest gratitude for having been able to share two important stages of my life: one as a player and the other as head of the Technical Secretariat of FC Barcelona.
This second farewell includes two years in which I have tried to work to make Barcelona better. Two intense seasons and I have ended this by choice. Despite the fact that the Board of Directors ratified me in my position on Monday, last Tuesday I resigned.
In the last two years I have tried to make changes that I thought were very important for the future of the first team. Despite my conviction and my insistence, I have not succeeded. That is why I think the time has come to put an end to my relationship with the club.
I want to record that I have given up the year of contract that I still had with FC Barcelona.
Today the situation of the club is complicated, but do not have any doubt that I wish with all my heart that it can be overcome and that the successes return soon as this great club deserve.
Eternal thanks to all.
Visca Barca and Visca Catalunya.
Eric Abidal. “
