New Barcelona president Joan Laporta has started clearing out his front office.

Ten days after his inauguration, he has cut two high-ranking executives left from Josep Maria Bartomeu's time in charge, reports Sport.

Albert Soler and Roman Gomez Ponti will both leave their roles at Camp Nou. Soler was the director for professional sports (not including football) and Gomez Ponti was the head of legal services.

Oscar Grau, until now Barça's CEO, will temporarily replace Soler, while Cristina Belloque will oversee legal on an interim basis.

Despite spending many years at the club, Gomez Ponti's standing has dropped on the back of the Barçagate scandal. He was one of the four men arrested earlier this month.

Soler, meanwhile, joined Barça in 2014 as the director of institutional relations and in 2015 became director for professional sports. However, in 2017, he stopped working on the football side of things.
