Sandro Russel,FC Barcelona Chief Resigns

Barcelona football club chief Sandro Rosell has resigned following a Spanish court's decision to look into last year's signing of Brazili star Neymar. 


FCB will be investigated for alleged misappropriation of funds in the £48.6m (57m euros) deal with Santos.

Barcelona football club chief Sandro Rosell, speaking at a news conference after a Barca board meeting, insisted he had "acted correctly".

Barcelona football club chief Sandro Rosell maintains the accusation is "unfair and reckless". He added: "For some time, my family and myself have suffered threats and attacks in silence. These threats and attacks have made me wonder if being president means having to jeopardise my family
''From the beginning, I have said the signing of Neymar has been correct and his signing has caused despair and envy in some of our adversaries."

Vice-president Josep Maria Bartomeu now takes over from the 49-year-old Rosell, who came to power in 2010.
