Barcelona: Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has voiced his desire to remain active in the footballing world once his active career comes to an end, and has set his sights on the position of club president at the Spanish champions.
Sandro Rosell is the current Barcelona president after replacing Joan Laporta in the summer of 2010, and Pique is dreaming of succeeding Rosell as the commander in chief at Camp Nou one day.
"If I hadn't become a footballer, I definitely would have ended up in the footballing world in some other position," Pique was quoted as saying by El Mundo Deportivo.
"When football's your passion, you always want to be active in this world. I will not leave the footballing world when I retire. I've once said that I want to become Barcelona president and that's still my ambition. There's still plenty of time though, so we'll see what happens in the future."
The 24-year-old is a product of the Barcelona youth academy and returned to his native club in 2008 after a four-year spell with Manchester United.
