Farewell, Francesc

Málaga CF mourns the death of Francesc Arnau, linked to the Club since 2001 to 2018, first as a player, then within The Academy and finally as sporting director.

The Club deeply regrets the loss of Francesc Arnau Grabalosa in the early hours of this Saturday morning in Oviedo at 46 years of age.

Arnau was born on 23rd March 1975 in Las Planas, Girona and was associated with Málaga CF in two stages. He arrived as a player in the 2001/02 season and was a Blue and White goalkeeper until 2010/11, when he hung up his boots. Once his footballing career had come to an end, he went on to work within the offices at La Rosaleda, first as assistant manager of The Academy and then as the entity’s sporting director from 2015 until midway through the 2017/18 season.

Rest in peace, Arni.
