Valero has coached the likes of Liverpool, Inter Milan, Napoli, and Real Madrid. Aside from also being a video analyst at Chelsea, he also worked at China’s Hebei FC. Speaking of his playing career, then the keeper has played for a host of Spanish clubs. He joined Wrexham in 2007, where he played just three games, before hanging up his boots.
Either way, it is still good news for Wrexham. Perhaps we might see him come to Racecourse Ground and achieve a similar kind of success with his former club. Nevertheless, let’s catch up about the last night’s final.
