Eduardo Macía

Valencia CF

Macià spent two decades at Valencia CF as player, technical advisor, and as the personal assistant to the club's president, Juan Soler. He had previously worked with Rafael Benítez at Valencia CF, working with the younger players. When he was Sporting Director at Valencia CF, Macià had a big part in bringing Brazilian midfielder Edu on a Bosman ruling transfer.

After losing his role as sporting director to Amedeo Carboni, Macià was offered another role on the club's board but he opted to seek a new challenge. "It's a professional decision," he said. "I think my job here has come to an end and I cannot give more than I have given." Benitez considered making a move for Maciá when the latter rejected a new contract offer from Valencia. Former Valencia coach Claudio Ranieri was also interested in tempting Maciá to join him, but Liverpool seem a more interesting option for Maciá.

During this period, the squad market value grew from 45.000.000€ to 180.000.000€.

Liverpool F.C.

Macià's appointment as Chief Scout was announced on 15 June 2006.

One of Macià's earliest contribution was the discovery of Lazaros Christodoulopoulos, who was offered a trial by Liverpool. Lazaros was discovered while playing for PAOK. Lazaros did not travel with the Salonika squad pre-season tour of France, but instead went to Melwood to attend the Liverpool trial.

Macià then worked in partnership with academy manager Frank McParland, who became joint-scout. In 2010, after Roy Hodgson's appointment as manager, rumours stated that Macià had significant control over Liverpool's transfers, which he denied. Macía left his role at Liverpool on 30 December 2010 by mutual agreement.

Players like Fernando Torres, Mascherano, Kuyt or Sterling were among others signed by Eduardo Macià.

Olympiacos F.C.

Olympiacos F.C. board and Macià first met in August 2010, through transfer negotiations between Olympiacos F.C. and former Macià's club Liverpool F.C.. After his spell at Liverpool ended by mutual agreement on December 2010, Olympiacos F.C. approached Macía and after a long 4 months negotiations about his role in the club, they finally came to an agreement. On 28 April 2011 Macià became the Technical Director of Olympiacos F.C..

ACF Fiorentina

On 17 November 2011 he became a talent scout of Fiorentina alongside Pantaleo Corvino. On 26 May 2012 Macià was promoted to Technical Director of Fiorentina, alongside new Sporting Director Daniele Prade.

In his first season in Fiorentina, almost 20 players were signed by Eduardo to build a new squad. Cuadrado, Gonzalo Rodriguez, Savic, Rossi or Aquilani were ones of the players who arrived to the club. The team finished in 4th place, qualifying for the UEFA Europa League. In his second season in the club, he reached the goals again, qualifying for the UEFA Europa League after finishing again in 4th place and having signed players like Joaquin, Ilicic and Mario Gomez.

Eduardo left Fiorentina on April 2015, when the team was positioned in 6th position, just before to play semifinals of the UEFA Europa League against Sevilla FC.

Real Betis Balompié
