Indeed, the same club that recently defended the figure of Miguel Ángel Corona, theoretical sports director, is managed by a president who does not trust the work of such professionals.
The issue of the sports director is one of the issues that has been in the Valencian debate for years, especially after the departure of Mateu Alemany. For Murthy, the coaches “spend for their own ego” and the sports directors “have two years of contract and bet everything without putting their money”explained the president, who also stated that in “the strategic plan there is no sports director”.
“They always find a job. It is a world where people talk about professionals.

If I say to them, you can spend 40 million, bring me the players and we win the Champions League, if anyone can do this, it’s God,” Murthy reasoned about the sporting directors. The president added that there is “no sports director” nor “no coach” who can do it. “Do you know where this is done? In Germany. The PSV coach now has a 40 million budget, even his salary was there, competing in the Conference League, everything, “he explained.
