BARCELONA, 16 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) –
FC Barcelona announced this Friday Jordi Cruyff as the new sports director of the Barça entity, a position he has held since July 1 after his previous stint as an advisor at the club.
A first-team player between 1993 and 1996, the son of ‘culé’ legend Johan Cruyff joined Barça last season as director of the international football area and has been active in the last two transfer markets, such as Member of the Sports Commission.
In addition, this summer it has been vital working side by side with the director of football Mateu Alemany to put together a dream squad, in which they have incorporated seven new faces to Xavi Hernández’s team.
“It has been a market of a lot of work, with the puzzle of ‘fair play’. We thought that it was not the moment and we preferred to leave all the attention on what the team needed. Now, with the transfer market closed, we have made it official “, Jordy Cruyff explained to the club’s official media, collected by Europa Press.
“Over time we realized that there was a good ‘feeling’. The most important thing in a club is the functioning of the team and communication. We don’t always agree, but that’s how the best decisions are made,” he concluded.
