Ricardo Sarden, who will become the team manager, if the American Josh Jacoby succeeds in buying the club, says: "The plan is to bring in the most professional team that has been in Israel. I have footballers who have succeeded in clubs like Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Liverpool and everyone wants to work at Betar "


Ricardo Sardan defines himself as an Israeli village and a friend of the Jewish people.

The latest example is of course his travels to Ukraine, to provide humanitarian aid to synagogues and help Jews escape the Russian bombings.

For many weeks now, the Spaniard has been closely following what is happening in Betar Jerusalem, and especially the identity of the new landlord. The club in Jerusalem, he will do so as the director of Revolution Sports, a company he founded more than a decade ago, which deals with the management of professional clubs and sales and purchase transactions.

In Europe, especially in the UK and Spain.

Sardan's team now manages Dundee United in Scotland, and has been involved in the sale and acquisition of Aston Villa, Derby County, Numancia and Racing Santander.

In an exclusive interview with Israel Today, Sardan reveals that he has many plans for Betar, but admits that it all depends on what will happen in the coming days around the Abramov deal.

As far as you are concerned

what is your situation today in front of Moshe Celebrating

?

At this point, Jacoby's side have not yet managed to raise all the money and are waiting for a response from some people regarding what they agreed on.

On the other hand, we talk a lot with Nir Barkat who wants a professional team like ours.

We know of course that there is another party interested in buying Betar, and that it all depends on the police investigations, the association's approval .... I think it's not closed yet.

I mean, do you still think that the

acquisition of

Betar is possible

?

Yes, it is still possible, especially when we know what kind of work team is behind us.

But in the end it is not up to us.

This is an opportunity for Betar

fans to

know what your plans are professionally

We have big plans for Betar, although we know about the club's difficulty financially. The plan is to bring in the most professional team that has been in Israel in recent years. I have footballers who have been successful in clubs like Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, Liverpool, Boca Juniors and River Plate and everyone is interested in working on this project in Israel.

Can you give me names

?

Of course, Jordi Roare who was Barça's assistant coach in the seniors and replaced Tito Villanova who passed away in 2014, and later was also the director of Barça's academy until a year ago.

I also have Jose Luis Perez Caminero, a former player of Atletico and the Spanish national team, and was the sporting director of Atletico until 2018 and the man who brought Simeone as coach.

Gustavo Silikowitz, CEO of River Plate until 2020, with whom they won the Libertadores and was then declared the best CEO in the world in 2018.

Will all these people come to Israel

?

They are all our external consultants and maybe some of them will come to Israel full time.

For example, Roara explicitly told me that he would come to work in Jerusalem, partly because he also loves Israel very much.

There was no need to convince him much.

Who will be the coach

?

It's too early to tell.

Roara would very much like to see Javier Garcia Pimenta, who as you know was until recently the coach of Barça's reserve team and a highly regarded man in Spain.

He is now the coach of Las Palmas.

How was the

idea of ​​Betar born

with you

?

I know that Josh Jacoby really loves Israel and Betar. Someone knew us and he asked me if I would like to be part of the project professionally, and of course I agreed. Do not forget that I personally personally support Israel and that Betar is the Israeli group I am most Follows her in football.

We all really love the country and want to help this important club.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
