Real Betis has officially announced Manu Fajardo as their new sporting director, taking over the role from Ramón Planes. Planes recently departed the Spanish club to join Al Ittihad, leaving the position vacant.
Fajardo’s appointment comes at a crucial time for Real Betis, as they look to continue their progress in both domestic and European competitions. The club has expressed confidence in Fajardo’s abilities to steer the team towards achieving its goals.
Prior to his new role at Real Betis, Manu Fajardo has had a significant background in football management and scouting, which the club believes will be beneficial in his new position. His experience and knowledge of the game are expected to play a key role in Real Betis’s future transfer strategies and player development.
The departure of Ramón Planes to Al Ittihad marked the end of a successful tenure at Real Betis, during which the club saw notable improvements in its squad and performances. Planes’s move to the Saudi Arabian club was confirmed shortly before Fajardo’s appointment.
Real Betis fans and stakeholders are hopeful that Manu Fajardo will bring fresh ideas and continue the positive momentum built by his predecessor. The club’s statement highlighted their belief in Fajardo’s vision and strategy for the team’s future success.
