Barca boss quits over Neymar controversy

Club president Rosell resigns after court decides to investigate transfer

Less than four years after Sandro Rosell was elected Barcelona president with a record number of votes, he has resigned amid concerns over transparency and claims of underhand dealings surrounding Neymar's transfer.

It is often said - only half in jest - that the Barca presidency is the most important job in Catalonia, ahead of the leader of the local government, due to the power the club holds through its fan base and the way it represents the local region.
