Former Barcelona President Joan Laporta has claimed that he would like his old job back as Premier of Camp Nou.

Joan Laporta is considering running for re-election as president of Barcelona F.C.

The 49-year-old politician, who is a member of the Parliament of Catalunya, served two terms at Camp Nou before standing down in the summer of 2010.

This news comes after the Catalan politician spoke out in criticism of the club's decision to appoint Tito Vilanova as the new manager.

"I'm ready to go back to being president of FC Barcelona," he told EFE. "It's a thought that occurred to me at the end of the season, after analysing how everything was going and I had a clear perception that the current board is obsessed with destroying what we did.

"And I'm very proud of the model Barca built. So when I'm asked if I will return, I answer: 'Yes, I'm thinking about it.'"

Laporta reigned at Camp Nou for a total of seven years before being succeeded by Sandro Rosell after stepping down in 2010.

Barcelona won four Liga titles, two Champions Leagues, one Copa del Rey and a Club World Cup during Laporta's tenure.
