Intercity’s moves showed no fear. Siviero’s squad was the first V club promoted to First RFEF, and its peak did not translate into a boost for share value. In the stock market, the days around it felt cautious, not decisive. A possible partnership with Hercules briefly floated, but the share price rose only to retreat as that idea drifted away.
What worked before wasn’t left untouched in Salvador Martí’s club. The team began to adjust and reorganize long before the season finished, aiming for a higher level of success. Quique Hernandez sparked the changes. He had already left the familiar path when the club’s former general manager blamed the organization for limiting growth. He did not even reveal any clear short-term goal of reaching professional football, even in the longer view. His departure from Intercity seemed to be heading toward a quiet, low-key agreement that wouldn’t shake the stock market much. Once the aims were met and all sides were satisfied, Enrique Ortiz’s possible returns to Hércules loomed, though cooling and consensus at the club would be needed.
Quique Hernández ended with Intercity but his return to Hercules was paralyzed
Cesar Hernandez
Before Quique left, Perfecto Palacio nearly surprised everyone. After two years in his role, he stepped down as director and vice president. The Alicante businessman would remain a shareholder but with limited decision-making power. Both sides spoke warmly yet kept the real reasons for departures private, the ones that had driven recent sporting success.
Paco Peña, the former technical secretary, could have stayed with the black club. He joined with Quique, and his future remains undecided. Three players who had a crucial impact on Intercity’s progress remain central to the club’s football strategy. Juanfran Torres, the former Atletico and national team star, brings strength to the sports plan and will act as vice president, while a new sports director will take on duties once performed by Quique Hernández. As investors watch for more immediate wins, Intercity emphasizes changes aimed at sustainable growth rather than quick promotions. Four promotions in five seasons stand as a strong sign of a club built in 2017 with solid leadership.
Intercity Promoted to First RFEF!
David Marin
Training camps for the next season remain largely undisclosed, but Antonio Solana is set to be aligned with the First RFEF requirements, coordinating with the City Council to ensure a smooth transition to professional football for a full season.
The restructuring at Intercity began, serving as a litmus test for a club newly listed among Spanish teams. Protests did not stall the club’s ascent, even with Palacio and Hernández leaving. At this pace, investors have ample reasons to anticipate a stronger share performance again.
Jorge Sanz enters the Council
CF Intercity confirmed that Jorge Sanz, a digital transformation and innovation specialist, was joining the board of directors of Alicante SAD. After Palacio’s exit from the roles of vice president and director, the club led by Salvador Martí announced Sanz’s appointment. He brings over a decade of technology industry experience. Alongside Sanz, Intercity expanded its Investor Relations with the addition of footballer Esau Rojo. The club also counts ex-international Juanfran Torres as an investor, and the leadership project was reinforced after Intercity reached an agreement to end the contract with general manager Quique Hernández.
Intercity’s actions remained steady even as changes occurred. The club’s trajectory continued to emphasize football excellence and prudent governance, with leadership transitions handled in a way that safeguarded its broader ambitions. The stock market awaited visible milestones, while the club pursued steady progress that aligned with its 2017 origin and ongoing commitment to strong management.
