🔎 Valencia look to Germany to strengthen their technical department | OneFootball

The Valencia CF continues to shape its sports organization for the upcoming season. As reported by Plaza Deportiva, the name of José Viñas is strongly featured on the list of candidates to join the technical secretariat at Mestalla.

Viñas, originally from Valencia, has an enviable track record in international football.

He is currently working as a scout for Schalke 04, a team leading the 2. Bundesliga and on the verge of promotion. His work in Germany has been crucial in rebuilding a historic club during tough times, contributing his ability to spot young and competitive talent.

Successes with Eintracht Frankfurt

His greatest professional success came with Eintracht Frankfurt. As the head of scouting in Spain, he was part of the team that led the German club to win the German Cup in 2018 and the Europa League in 2022.

This experience in successful projects is the main credential that the CEO of Football, Ron Gourlay, is considering for his potential incorporation.

Knowledgeable in the football business

Beyond the offices, Viñas possesses a comprehensive vision of the business. He has been on the benches of Villarreal CF and Torre Levante, and worked for eleven years as a football agent.

This triple background (coach, agent, and scout) gives him a competitive edge in the current market. The coach has an active contract in Germany but is seeking new professional challenges.
