Football Luis Rubiales: first-class businessman, second-class footballer and son of a socialist
Rubiales case The former chief of staff of Rubiales denounces that he paid orgies with money from the Federation
Just a few days ago, former footballer
Francisco Javier Martín Alcaide, alias 'Nene', appeared on the page of the Royal Spanish Football Federation
(RFEF).
However, his name has been deleted during the last hours from the website of the institution chaired by Luis Rubiales.
Last week, the newspaper
El Mundo
linked the former player with the controversial president of the RFEF after an
investigation by Esteban Urreiztieta based on the statements of Rubiales' uncle and former chief of staff, Juan Rubiales.
In them, he claimed that in 2020, in the midst of a pandemic, his nephew had rented a villa in Salobreña (Granada) to celebrate some alleged work days with his team.
According to the story of Juan Rubiales before the Public Ministry, at the beginning of 2020 Luis Rubiales rented that luxury home
"for the enjoyment of himself and his most direct team, paying the expenses with company cards from the RFEF itself"
.
In that same statement, the journalist and former communication chief of his nephew assures that that meeting turned out to be a party where
"a group of eight or ten young girls was invited by the former soccer player and friend of the president Nene." .
According to statements from those around him, Francisco Javier Martínez Alcaide (Nene) is a close friend of the president and was at that celebration along with several directors of the Federation.

WHO IS 'NEW'?
Born in Granada on January 28, 1976,
Francisco Javier Martínez Alcaide developed his football career in his native province
.
His past in the beautiful game can be summed up in a few seasons as an outstanding player in Third and Second Division B teams.
A quality playmaker in his category, he was known by the nickname of Nene in Granada stadiums
.
Coveted for his adaptability to play on both wings and for his talent for taking free kicks, corners and penalties,
he played between 2001 and 2005 for the Third Division club Arenas de Armilla.
Team of which he was captain and with which he achieved promotion in 2004, to descend again in 2005.
With a discreet goalscoring record
, Nene is remembered for having scored a goal from 40 meters against Granda FC in 2003.
Three years later, he would sign for the Nasrid team, which was then a member of the Third Division
.
In 2007, he was presented as seventh on the PP list for the Armilla city council in the candidacy of his former teammate Francisco Cuadros 'Patiti'.
He retired in the 2008 and 2009 seasons at Granada 74 Club de Fútbol
, a team that disappeared in 2010.
His decade as a footballer coincided with that of Luis Rubiales
, who at that time played as a central defender in clubs such as Xerez or Levante .
,
with which he became champion of the Second Division in 2003 to finally rise to the First Division in 2006.

BUSINESSMAN AND FRIEND
After retiring from football, Francisco Javier Martín Alcaide decided to become a youth player in the business world.
At 46 years old, he has managed to be the director of a hotel chain called Urban Dream Hotels
, which he manages through the company Explotaciones Hoteleras Nazaríes Sociedad Limitada.

the Urban Dream chain has three hotels.
One of four stars located in the center of Granada and that has 103 rooms and its own gastro-bar;
another three-star located five minutes from the center of the Nasrid city and another in the town of Torremolinos.

The president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, Luis RubialesGTRES
Sources close to Rubiales maintain that he and Nene are such friends
that the president has considered working for the businessman if his career in the Federation ends
.
Which seems close after being linked to the scandal known as the Super Cup Files, uncovered by
El Confidencial
.
For his part, the former player hopes to be able to expand his expansion
of him over the next few years, although he may have seen his professional image tarnished these days.
LOC has called Martin Alcaide by phone, but he refuses to answer the press.
"I'm not going to get into those things,"
he communicated.
Urban Dream Hotels is not the only company that the former Atletico striker manages.
During his soccer stage, in 2002, he created, together with a partner named Jorge Sánchez Morales, the company Jorge y Nene Publicidad SL
.
In 2005 he founded the micro-enterprise Trival Grupo Inmobiliario,
with only one employee.
Five years later, he would try his luck with the company
Explotaciones Supermercados del Sur Sociedad Limitada
, dedicated to the retail sale of food and beverages.
With a capital of 3 million euros, Francisco Javier Martín Alcaide and
his partner Clemente Gómez Rubio set up the company Explotadora Hotelera Pozo Chico Sociedad Limitada
, also linked to Urban Dream.
In the city of Granada,
Nene is better known as a businessman than as a player.
But his name is linked to football again, although not in the expected way.
And it is that... goals are love.
