Real Madrid have announced today that Alejandro Elortegui will be their new Director of Communications, after Fernando Nadal left the role last summer.
AS reports that the 47-year-old, who up until now has been General Director of Progresa, part of the PRISA group, has been tempted previously by the job, but has only joined today.
He is believed to have agreed to take the job on until 2010, when the current tenure of Ramón Calderón ends.
Fernando Nadal left the post last summer and since then the job has been done on a temporary basis by both Miguel Ángel Arroyo and Luis Villarejo.
Elortegui is a Madrid resident and has mainly plied his trade in the journalism industry, in which he got his first degree from the University of Madrid.
How much influence he will have at the club is not yet known, but with Calderón and Pedja Mijatovic at he helm, it is unlikely he will have too much say.
Nor is it known who decided to appoint him today, but that may well be revealed in the near future.
