Immediately the developments in AEK in the matter of the executive director after the departure of Panagiotis Kone!
As he told News Bulletin 247 the George Tsakiristhe former director – among others – of Marseille, Javier Ribaltais expected to take over as director of the football department of the “yellow and black” (it remains to be seen what his title will be) and in fact, the 44 year old Spaniard has been in Athens for a few days! This shows, already, that he was in the “Union”. fully prepared for the next day and the successor state.
Of course, Ribalta’s name is not unknown. The opposite, since has passes from Juventus, Manchester United, Zenit, Parma and Marseillefrom different posts, while he started his career as a scout in Turin and Milan! He has, in short… a heavy resume!
He started his career as a scout for Torino 2008and after a year he moved to Milan and Milan. He stayed there until 2011. He then took over as chief scout at Novara, again for a year, before moving to Turin on behalf of Juventus, and for the same position! In fact, he stayed at the Old Lady until 2017, when he took over as Manchester United’s chief scout, to follow a year after assuming the position of sports director at Zenit for three years (from 2018 to 2021). Parma followed, and the following summer (2022) he moved to Marseille in favor of Marseille. He stayed there until the middle of last season, leaving after the loss on the part of the fans for the poor course of the French team.
As we mentioned above, Javier Ribalta has been in our country for a few days and, in fact, he has already met and talked with Matias Almeida. Barring a shocking contingency, after AEK’s match in Agrinio with Panaitolikos, the matter will formally end and the Spaniard will officially assume his duties.
