América appoint new sporting director from Spain | OneFootball

It has been a very eventful few months at Club América since the announcement that Atlantic Group had purchased 49 percent of Club América, leading to several changes in the club’s leadership.

The first move we saw came right at the start of the year with the departure of Diego Ramírez, the team’s sporting director for several years, someone who first began with the women’s team before moving up to the first team.

A few months later, the arrival of Ferran Reverter was announced, as he took over the role of general director of the ‘Grupo Águilas’ group, overseeing both the club and Estadio Banorte.

Later, the departure of Héctor González Iñárritú was announced. He had served as the team’s operations president, in one of Reverter’s first decisions as the institution’s general director.

And now it has been reported that Xavier Budó will be the new high-performance sporting director; his task will be to implement a high-performance culture throughout the entire club, both men’s and women’s, and he will be responsible for drawing up a strategic plan that includes the construction of a new training complex.

What will América’s top leadership look like?

Emilio Azcárraga remains the majority owner of Club América with 51 percent, while Atlantic Group holds 49 percent.

A little below Azcárraga is Carlos Barcel, who would be considered Emilio’s “right-hand man,” and representing Atlantic Group is Ferran Reverter.

Next comes Santiago Baños as the team’s president; alongside him are Antonio Ibrahim as sporting director and now Xavier Budó as general sporting director.

There is still no information on who will be in charge of taking over the position left vacant by Héctor González Iñárritu.
