Not sure, I know he had been doing some coaching for Saints in the Community. Basically he is a Spanish football coach who is mainly there to be a translator for Gaston. Nice guy - helping out on the training ground rather than coaching the team.

 

He has been helping in the warm up the last few games.

Christ. Looks like Javi made a career out of his courting of players.

 

Judging from the amount of stuff he's stuck on there about marketing which is lifted from the public domain, I'd be inclined to think he's trying to pass himself off as someone he's not.

 

The bit about "hotel management training" stashed under the bullsh111t about what he did when in Southampton and at Hoddle's Academy is probably nearer the truth, along with something about speaking two languages and that being handy to give the players someone to talk to in their own language for a bit.

That guy is actually a genuine coach but yes, they help around the training ground and act as translators/helpers for certain players to help them settle. Pretty reasonable really.

 

And this is why Javi is no kind of "Football Consultant" - because all of the integration people nowadays also have other directly useful football-related skills.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has been labelled as a disciple of Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa, while Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman was once a student of the great Johan Cruyff.

 

But the two former Southampton managers now seemingly have a disciple of their own.

 

Lewes Women boss Fran Alonso describes his years alongside the pair in the Premier League as "like being at the best university in the world", having initially worked under Pochettino at Saints, before moving with Koeman to Everton.
