Reyna resigned to convene an extraordinary assembly that led to elections, leaving the club in the hands of a management commission.
Before leaving office, Reyna presented proposals to improve the club’s economic situation, including possible player trades.
In the professional field, Reyna stood out as a real estate developer and was president of the Barcelona Developers Association (APCE) for 35 years. He also led Fira de Barcelona and the International Construction Exhibition (Construmat).
