Alejandro Valverde is poised to become the new coach of the Spanish national cycling team, marking a significant moment in his post-retirement career. Having retired in 2022, Valverde has been involved with Movistar and is expected to sign a four-year contract with the Spanish Federation, while also continuing with Movistar for another year. He succeeds Pascual Momparler and speaks about his inspiring new role, focusing on upcoming talent while addressing potential conflicts of interest. Valverde’s first task will be to evaluate the route for the upcoming World Championships in Rwanda.
"It's a very inspiring new chapter for me. I've been after this for a while. We've got four years ahead of us to do the job well."
"Whether I continued with them or not, Movistar will always be my team. There's always going to be criticism, you can't always please everyone."
"I'm not saying all the best, but some of them. In other teams, there are good riders as well. We'll send the ones [from Movistar] that we have to, be it one or three."
"Valverde is on the point of signing a four-year deal with the Spanish Federation and will also sign a deal with Movistar for one year."
