A new adventure on the horizon for Alejandro Valverde . The Murcian will be the new coach of the Spanish national team and he himself declared to Relevo that the operation is now in the details: “It's practically done, only a few details are missing, but we're looking forward, I'm very excited and I have great enthusiasm. I've kept myself out of the controversy, but I had clear ideas. However, the moment has arrived and we can announce it. Obviously there will be happier and less happy people. In my work group I'm the one who will decide, but there are many people who can give advice and I'm ready to listen to them, especially those who have experience”.

Valverde is acting as an ambassador for Movistar and has to sort out some details: “We had to wait because we had to get everything aligned,” Valverde continued. “The plan is to continue with Movistar as an ambassador and we had to conclude some issues there that were gradually closed. I would also like to do some Gravel races, but we have to see if it is something completely compatible. In any case, Movistar is always my home, whether it stays or not.”
