The pause button is pressed in the sports direction of Espanyol, despite the fact that Francisco Joaquín Pérez Rufete, sports director, predicted an “intense” week which closes no news officers. The question is how much longer can it stay like this without the parrot club losing market opportunities. The arrival of Vicente Morenowho already in any moment will officially become the coach who commands the 2020-21 season in second, it's crucial to advance in planning. And so that the movements begin to arise, they point from the club.
As well as Chen Yansheng has the last word In any operation carried out in Espanyol, now supervised by José María Durán as CEO, they wish in the technical area that Moreno gives the go-ahead to the work done to date to configure the template of this next and imminent course. That no signings are found that may not be to your liking. Espanyol has not closed any agreement for precisely that reason. Thus, it will be the Valencian coach who should rule on Keidi Baré, Málaga, or Fran Mérida, who has already said goodbye to Osasuna and they have spoken, yes, but who has other clubs interested in Segunda.
Thus the things, Vicente Moreno will not be the one to make the transfers but he will have a decisive voice both in the high and low, another aspect that should be consulted before making them public. That implication in the project, in addition to a contract for three seasons, is one of the tricks that Espanyol has used to convince the coach that promoted to Mallorca from Second B to First Division.
