MALAGA, Spain: Malaga owner Sheikh Abdullah Al Thani yesterday said the club is putting emphasis on new plans for all-round success in the new La Liga season.
At a press conference at Rosaleda Stadium, the home turf of Malaga FC, Sheikh Abdullah said: “Firstly, I would like to congratulate the members of our team; the players, coaches and staff, for a great season.”
He added: “A sports project that will be stronger and more solid next season. With Arnau at the front, as sports director, we will try to make a big team for our fans to enjoy.  We want next season to be special.”
Sheikh Abdullah said plans were in place to make the side competitive and embrace all-round success in the years to come.
“Regarding the Club, we are very involved in management, working for our Malaga Club de Fútbol to be stable, without debts, and able to face the future with optimism,” Sheikh Abdullah was quoted as saying in a post on the club’s official website www.malagacf.com.
“I would like to say, our priority is to start the (academy) construction as soon as possible.  We are doing everything in our hands to convert the academy into a reality,” Sheikh Abdullah said.
“We must have a facility for our Academy teams, where they can train and continue their development.  An Academy that will also be open to the entire city.
“All together: Town Hall, ‘Diputación’ (provincial government) and Junta de Andalucía are working in the same way within this project.  In the next General Assembly that will take place in June, we will conclude the last issue.”
“Regarding La Rosaleda, our stadium turns 75 years old. We want to celebrate the anniversary with all Malaguistas, and also make some improvements so that every game is a unique environment. We want all Malaguistas, and people who visit us, to enjoy a great stadium,” Sheikh Abdullah said.
The Qatari owner thanked the fans and the employees of the club.
“I would like to let the fans know that I’m proud of their loyalty to Malaga.  During a very difficult year, they have shown us great support.
“I want to say that I’m surrounded by hard-working employees, who want the best for this club,” he said in the presence of his two sons.
Sheikh Abdullah said the club has finalised a deal with Spanish defensive mid-fielder Ignacio Camacho
“I don’t want to conclude this press conference without giving you some great news.
“Malaga has bought the economic rights for Camacho. Camacho is today 100 per cent property of Malaga Club de Futbol, and we want him to remain an important player in the project of our club,” he said.
