Valencia's general director, JavierSolís, expressed his enthusiasm after confirming the sale of 42% of the club's shares to Pitchwise Holdings. In an interview with Movistar before the game against Villarreal, Solís stated that the entry of the new shareholders will mark the beginning of a “very nice stage” for the team.
The agreement, which includes an immediate injection of 100 million euros, is finalized with the participation of AnnRodríguez and CoreyWoolfolk, two executives with extensive experience in the sports industry. Solís highlighted that the experience of Rodríguez and Woolfolk will provide improvements in the management of the different areas of the club, and that collaboration with the president and the rest of the management will allow the internal functioning to be optimized.
The leader also pointed out that the new organizational structure will allow work groups to be better integrated and internal communication to be improved. “Things will change for the better with the entry of these two executives,” he commented, adding that it is necessary to analyze how to distribute resources to cover the most urgent needs, both on the playing field and in infrastructure and other areas that require investment.
Regarding the winter transfer market, Solís confirmed that Valencia will work to strengthen the squad, although he avoided giving details about possible movements. He stressed that the general message is one of optimism and that the new stage opens a “very nice” opportunity for the club and its fans.
With Pitchwise's investment, Valencia seeks to consolidate its position in the League and improve its competitiveness, while the presence of Rodríguez and Woolfolk promises a more professional management aimed at sporting success. The next phase will be to define how the 100 million will be channeled and what specific signings can be made in the winter window.
