- The club's continued success serves as an inspiration to smaller clubs
Villarreal’s impressive rise in Spanish football, producing world-class talents like Rodri and Nicolas Jackson, is not attributed to a single “magic” individual, according to club CEO Fernando Roig.
Despite being based in a small city, Villarreal has consistently punched above its weight, achieving remarkable success in both domestic and European competitions.
Roig emphasized that the club’s success is a result of a collective effort, a well-structured system, and a long-term commitment to youth development.
“We have not hired Ted Lasso to make a big change,” Roig stated, emphasizing the importance of a team approach.
Villarreal’s academy has been a cornerstone of the club’s success, producing a consistent stream of talented players who have gone on to achieve great things at the highest level.
This season, despite not participating in European competition, Villarreal is once again exceeding expectations, currently occupying fifth place in La Liga.
The club’s continued success serves as an inspiration to smaller clubs, demonstrating that with a well-defined strategy and a commitment to youth development, significant achievements can be attained.
