Kike Pérez is already a reality at Málaga CF. The new general manager, announced last week, got down to work on Tuesday. The man from Vitoria was at La Rosaleda in the afternoon, getting to know his new workplace and the staff present and then, at night, he attended his first act representing the club, in an event together with companies related to the club in the Cervantes Theater. The new blue and white general manager was accompanying ‘The MBC’, the business group with a connection to Málaga CF, at the Cervantes Blanquiazul, an event fostered by the relationship between the Málaga CF Foundation and the Málaga Carnival Foundation. Other members of the entity were also accompanying him, such as Carlos Arias, director of the club’s Business Area, or José Antonio Ruiz Guerra, advisory director.
Before the event, Kike Pérez had time to delve into the Offices de Martiricos to learn first-hand about the club’s facilities and staff. And with no time for much else, he headed for the Teatro Cervantes. This appearance of the man from Vitoria is proof that his presence will relieve the judicial administrator of work and also to remove him from the spotlight. Until now José María Muñoz was the visible face of the entity in all these types of acts and in relations with LaLiga and the Federation and now it will be Pérez who will also take charge of these tasks, among many other things that must be solved in the entity. This same Thursday, Kike Pérez will already get down to work effectively.
He will have to update himself on everything that surrounds the entity and connect with José María Muñoz to make important decisions. A priori, the main thing at this time should be the election of a new sports director, after Manolo Gaspar left the club a few days ago. That will be the first big responsibility of the new blue and white leader. The next task, and no less important, will be to start planning the near future of Málaga CF.
Kike Pérez arrives with command in square to make all kinds of decisions that affect the sports field. He will have to work together with the receiver and the new sporting director in planning the next season, with the added difficulty of not knowing in which category the team will compete. There is still no confirmed date, but from the blue and white entity they plan for the new leader to have a debut in the press room before the media in the coming days. The figure that was claimed so much is already present in the club. A CEO arrives, with a extensive experience in the world of football, to lead the sports field and professionalize the club in this section. Criticism of the judicial administrator for his management of sports issues grew day by day and the arrival of a manager of this profile already seemed more than necessary. Hopefully it’s not too late and the ship will float again.
