[SaddVillan]

Nothing yet on PrAVda.

So do we know specifically what he's here to do?  (And if anyone says 'Direct sport' I'll set fire to their hair.)

*Posseses shaved head, yet tosses it in from a distance*

I’ve heard...he’s going to be directing sports

*pegs it*

I'm afraid I'm going to need your address.  Signed, A. Twisted-Firestarter.

So click bait and it’s likely all made up?

January, 13 2016
Valencia Club de Fútbol are proud to announce the appointment of Jesús García-Pitarch as Sporting Director.
Mr García-Pitarch is a familiar face to the club. He defended the Valencia CF badge between 1982 and 1985. He was also the Director of the Escuela Paterna school between 2000 and 2002 and the Sporting Director of the club from 2002 to 2004, helping the club clinch a La Liga title and a UEFA Cup win.
The 52-year-old went on to be the Sporting Director at Atletico Madrid where he won the Europa League and European Super Cup. In addition, he has held high-level positions at Spanish clubs Hércules and Real Zaragoza as the President and Director General respectively. He has served in the Baniyas Football Club in the Arab Emirates.
Valencia CF Chairwoman, Ms Lay Hoon Chan, welcomed the arrival of Mr García-Pitarch to the club. She said: “We had assured our fans and stakeholders that we would constantly review our sporting structure. We are very happy with this appointment because we have someone on board who is not only a proven professional but also one who is rooted in Valencianismo. Jesús has enjoyed success at the highest levels in his sporting career and knows Valencia CF well. We believe that he is the ideal person for such an important position.”

That a year later turned into

Jan 8, 2017
Valencia's tumultuous season has taken another twist with the resignation of sporting director Jesus Garcia Pitarch.
Currently sitting 17th in La Liga, Los Che are only out of the relegation zone because of a better head-to-head record than Sporting Gijon.
Club stalwart Voro Gonzalez was brought in for his fourth spell as caretaker coach after the resignation of Cesare Prandelli in December, and now the club has confirmed that academy director Jose Ramon Alesanco will take the reins from Pitarch.

Ms Lay Hoon Chan was perhaps wrong.

Interesting and vomit-inducing in equal measure. 'Slick and savvy' is a phrase used to compliment businessmen that should definitely be punishable by torture.

Looking at his wiki I couldn’t see an English style manager working with him. Seems he likes a significant degree of autonomy in respect to transfers. Looks like we may be hiring a head coach rather than a belt and braces manager

Dean Smith could fit

So, basically, no more confirmed than it was yesterday?

Hmmmkay.

His appointment is nailed on.

Did Gary Neville work with him?

[johnny from donny]

Maybe he can pass on some advice to our defence on how to deal with crosses

[ozzjim]

Did he hire Prandelli then?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Did Gary Neville work with him?

For a short time. Neville was already there when he returned.

Looks like Richard Madeley

Not sure of his CV.  I'll be cross if we sign him.
