State of flux
The 51-year-old construction magnate has been president at the Mestalla since October 2004, and though he has not enjoyed too much success off the pitch – Ronald Koeman is the fifth coach under his tenure – he has made his mark off it, and intents to see plans through. "As the club's largest shareholder I will make sure all the projects we have started are finished," said Soler, perhaps with an eye on the planned new stadium due for completion in 2009. "I have decided to step down because my health does not allow me to give the club all the time the project requires."
