Andorra doubles its budget to survive in Second
The difficult thing is not to arrive, but to stabilize. And this is the maxim that Andorra pursues. The tricolor entity that this season will compete for the first time in its history in second has the sole objective of achieving permanence and settling in professional football. For this, it is time to gain economic muscle and from the entity they already slip that efforts are going to be doubled. for now, the budget that is handled at this point in the preseason exceeds seven million euros, which is double what was available last year in the First RFEF (3.5 million). Of course, it is not ruled out that Kosmos, in an attempt to strengthen the project and provide players who are now unattainable to the coaching staff led by Eder Sarabia, increase the injection of capital.
Since the arrival of Gerard Piqué in Andorra, the entity’s growth has been meteorological and now that professional football has been reached, more is wanted. Breaking the glass ceiling is the idea, although it’s time to go step by step and first you have to make a hole continuously in Second. Being an elevator crew would be dangerous. For this reason, the investment will be progressive, even though this year there will be a qualitative and substantial leap, The directive is aware that the key is to endure this campaign so that the improvements and ideas that are to be implemented have a chance and bear fruit. From the sports management absolute confidence is maintained and despite the fact that the only movements made to date have been the renewal of Álex Pastor and the extension of Marc Aguado’s transfer contract, there will be a team of guarantees. There are pieces to come and also to go, but the important thing is that Eder Sarabia has a solid and trustworthy base, which was what made it possible to storm professional football.
Secondly, On Friday, coinciding with the first team’s return to training, the works are scheduled to begin at the Estadi Nacional. They are vital to be able to compete this year in the Second Division and the first action will be the implementation of natural grass. That is why Andorra will play their first three league games away from home and it will not be until August when, on matchday 4, they host Granada and make their professional football debut at home.
