Deco disappointed with Barcelona, may step down as sporting director

Former Barcelona footballer Deco, who currently serves as the club's sporting director, is contemplating leaving his position.

According to Diario Sport, the 47-year-old specialist is tired of working under financial constraints and is disillusioned by unfulfilled promises from Barcelona President Joan Laporta.

Laporta had assured Deco that the club's issues would be resolved soon: the team would be able to spend significant sums, and secure partnership deals with Nike and a Saudi fund. Ultimately, the constraints remained, impacting Deco's reputation in such working conditions.

The specialist plans to take a holiday, after which he will decide whether to stay at Barcelona or leave the club.
