“The role of the sports director is not only to recruit. It is to put in place a sports policy”

« Who did the recruiting this season? Longoria, Ribalta, Friio? And what are you going to ask Benatia? A real role of sports directorhe asked himself. The sports director is not only there to recruit players. It must also put in place a sports policy. For me, that means the team is going to play this way. We have such a squad to which the coach must adapt. It’s like that in all the other clubs. For example, Barcelona has a strong identity. Ajax Amsterdam likewise. Ultimately, we almost don’t care about the name of the coach. Xavi is someone known but at Ajax it is often strangers who come, but there is such an identity in the club that they adapt to. It’s up to the sports director to put it in place”said Gilles Castagno.
