Merab Jordania, the former president of the Georgian Football Federation, has taken over Dutch club Vitesse Arnhem, making them the first Dutch Eredivisie club to endorse foreign ownership.
The Georgian businessman had talks about taking over Dutch side AZ and Belgian club KV Mechelen but eventually chose Vitesse.
Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Jordania expressed his ambition with his new club and said: "This is the place where I can reach my goals. Both Vitesse and myself will go into a new era. I can tell you that the coach won't be replaced.
"But yes, we need new players. They may come everywhere. Give me two days, then I will give you names of new players. I will put as much money in as neccesary. Everything is possible. By the way, I want to clear up that Roman Abramovich is not involved in this deal, although he is a friend of mine."
Former president Maastbert Schouten was also present at the media briefing and said: "He [Jordania] is scanned completely, also by the Dutch federation. They allowed us to make this deal. This is unique in Dutch football history. Never before has a club been taken over by a foreign owner. The most important thing is that our club identity keeps the same."
The financial details of the deal have not been released. Vitesse have started the new season with a win and a defeat in two league fixtures. |
