Leganes are in a difficult position in this phase of the season, because they try to plan ahead for next season. Los Pepineros is currently in 18th place in La Liga, level on points with Alaves, but at the back of target difference, and are not sure if they will start in Primera or Segunda next season.
While manager Borja Jimenez is generally considered to get the most out of his players this season, the hierarchy at LEGANES wants to see a sea change in terms of recruitment next season. It has already been announced that sports director Txema Indias will leave at the end of the season, although he will continue to work on the team for next season.
According to Relo, Leganes have already profiled the new regime that they want; A new sports director from abroad and a technical secretary from Spain. They will also try to concentrate heavier on big data in their recruitment efforts in the future. In the frame for the role of sports director, the former Huddersfield Town, Liverpool and Norwich City Transfer Guru Stuart Webber, who has been leaving the last in 2023, although he is not the favorite.
For the technical secretary role, Leganes could look to poach one of the best couples of eyes with adapting neighbors Real Madrid. Andres Pardo was the head of Academy Scouting in Villarreal before he came to Los Blancos in the same role, and he is also an option. He has a good relationship with different Leganes directors and his son plays for the Academy Side in Butarque.
Owner Jeff Luhnow has made it clear that he would like to chase edges in terms of how they recruit and work in various interviews, and after the intake of money from a season into La Liga, this seems the next step in that development. Los Pepineros will undoubtedly be laser -oriented on survival before everything else first.
