Press and Media Officer John Edwards writes, "Altrincham are delighted to announce a significant boardroom appointment after former UEFA data specialist Rob Esteva accepted an invitation to become an associate director.
Based in Hale, Rob is founder, owner and managing director of The Stats Zone and has been working closely with Alty bosses since offering his services voluntarily and placing his company's extensive database and resources at the club's disposal just over four months ago.
Mindful that Rob's area of expertise can prove crucial in not only identifying transfer targets but getting the best out of them in their time at The J.Davidson, manager Phil Parkinson and his coaching staff have already forged a close working relationship with him.
Reflecting on his elevation to board member, Rob said, 'I’m delighted to join the Altrincham board as an associate director. My main responsibilities will be on the football side, and I’m just looking forward to working with Phil and getting the season under way.
'Since offering my services after the strategic review evening at the end of February, I’ve been working closely with various people at the club to set up an infrastructure that will benefit us over the long term. That said, when the fixtures came out today and the reality of having over 40% of the season’s schedule crammed in before the end of October, we’re all aware of the need for a positive start.
'This season, we’ll be analysing our own matches with video analysis, analysing every opponent prior to playing them and scouting potential recruits at the same time. Phil and his team have been very receptive to such information and data, and I’m confident it will pay off over the season. I've been to a few training sessions and the friendly against Stockport on Tuesday night, and I think there are encouraging signs. Phil has a clear idea of how he wants his team to play, and pre-season plans are developing nicely so that we’re as well prepared as possible for Stafford on August 12th.'"
