Overview

  • Andreu Fajardo served as interim president for 55 days in 2013 and used that tenure to propose redistributing club shares to local supporters.
  • He joined the board led by Arturo Tuzón to rebuild the club’s finances and achieve immediate promotion following its relegation.
  • Persistent clashes with presidents Arturo Tuzón and Paco Roig led him to resign and later align with opposition groups like Salvem el València.
  • He publicly warned that Peter Lim’s acquisition would be a “condemnation” for the club, a stance that still resonates among supporters.
  • Beyond Valencia CF, he acted as auditor during Levante UD’s creditor proceedings, reflecting his broader impact on Valencian football.
