Alemany will see the rubble of his Valencia in Mestalla

Mateu Alemany's stage at Valencia is remembered for his hug with Marcelino in the final of the Seville Cup; the Peter Lim era will be, among other necessities and nonsense, for the dismissal of the Balearic executive. That day began the collapse of a Valencia that was lined up to get closer to Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Atlético and that is now 6 points from relegation.

Alemany returns to Mestalla 535 days after leaving the club. In the box he will meet again with Anil Murthy, the hand that rocked her cradle, and with Joey lim, who arrived in Valencia after his departure and who was the one who accompanied him on transfers through Singapore when he traveled to meet Lim. Alemany, today, from the box, will see the rubble of his project, that of a Valencia that under his cloak was champion and fourth in the league two years in a row. Alemany was the architect; Marcelino, his project manager; Pablo Longoria, your decorator.

Joan Laporta, the same person who advised Lim his signing (Javier Tebas also played his role), brought him in for his Barça cause. Alemany arrived at Camp Barça endorsed by his career at Mallorca and his good work at Valencia. In the two years that he supervised sports planning, the club che It went from a budget of 138 million (2017) to 200 in its last fiscal year (2019). Valencia increased your income by competition, by box office and up to 60% of those from sponsors. This had an impact on having higher margin of salary limit (from € 129.7m to 170). The template value upon arrival it was € 286m and when he left it amounted to € 474m. Today it is € 246.70M (Transfermarkt).

Alemany, who came to Valencia that had been 12th for two years in a row and whose first decision was the signing of Marcelino, participated in five market windows. Among its few buts, not close the renewal of Ferran. He made 25 transfers (€ 238M, including 12 by Correia, Lim's exclusive signing) and made a 'clean' of 47 starts (€ 142'9M in income).
