Monchi Plans Espanyol Squad Blueprint with Manolo González

Monchi was introduced as the new director general deportivo of RCD Espanyol. During his presentation, he announced a pending “very important” meeting with coach Manolo González.

The meeting will be used to draw the first sketch of the squad Espanyol wants after the transfer window. This initial sketch will define the target composition of the club’s roster.

The discussion will focus on the “plantilla perica,” the term for Espanyol’s first‑team squad. Monchi and González will outline the basic framework for the summer signings.

The outline aims to guide player acquisitions and departures before the market closes. Espanyol expects to have a clear squad plan by the end of the transfer period.
