His workload and the scheduled meetings with senior representatives of the Spanish football in Madrid yesterday meant that President Manuel Domínguez Platas had to wait until this morning for his official presentation to the team. The new president and his predecessor, Miguel Guillén, met with the players and coaching staff this morning: Guillén tto bid farewell and President Manuel Dominguez Platas to take over the reins.

The new president has sent a message of support for the players and the coaching staff whilst asking for "maximum effort" in the final straight for the club they represent, for themselves and, above all, "for the fans". The lawyer insisted that his doors were open to them whenever they needed him and he assured them that there would be operational stability for the entity. After the event he stayed to watch the training session.

Meanwhile, Miguel Guillén praised his successor, and thanked everyone for the treatment he had received over the years.
