After taking charge of the club, Sanz was involved in the business and loved to run transfers. He had the spirit of a sports director.
“When I get my hands on it, I only need 24 hours to get someone,” Sanz said.
In addition to being able to dig in for transfers, he was also observing his targets live and evaluating them before deciding to buy them. One of his players brought the team to success in the 1998 Champions League final.
