From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joan Gaspart i Solves (October 11, 1944) is a Catalan businessman and a former FC Barcelona president between July 2000 and February 2003. He was born in Barcelona.

He is known as one of the best vice presidents of the club (during the presidency of Josep Lluís Nuñez) but one of the worst presidents. Gaspart spent all the money taken from the sale of Luís Figo to Real Madrid, buying Emmanuel Petit and Marc Overmars from Arsenal and Gerard from Valencia.

Gaspart stepped down as President of FC Barcelona in 2003 after some atrocious results for the club's football team.

Currently he is president of the football club UE Sant Andreu from Barcelona.
