Valencia, the club’s director of football has resigned: the impact this will have on their pursuit of Zaza and Evra is yet to be understood

After Cesare Prandelli, Jesus Garcia Pitarch has handed in his resignation. The Spanish club's official website communicated the following: "Jesús García Pitarch has resigned irrevocably from his role as Sporting Director. Current VCF Academy Director, José Ramón Alesanco, will take on the position in an interim capacity. His immediate tasks will be to continue with the work scheduled for the current winter market, and work on everything related to the Valencia CF first team in coordination with coach Salvador 'Voro' González." Simone Zaza and Patrice Evra have been in negotiations to be transferred to the club. The task faced by Pitarch's successor is to continue working on transfer objectives during the January window. Therefore, the club's work will continue as it remains to be seen if this new development will bring about the termination of these two operations pursued by the previous director.
