Millions of people then learned about his story and learned, for example, that he had coached in the Syrian Premier League.

Candidate for the presidency of the RFEF and later of the Madrid Football Federation, Galán has always exercised opposition at various levels in Spanish football based on steps through the courts and public actions such as the hiring of the Syrian Osama Abdul Mohsen.

My legal battles have their explanation", he commented to 'Marca' in an interview granted last year happened shortly before denouncing, in 'Confilegal', that he had received death threats.

The outcome of the file opened to the current president of the RFEF, Luis Rubiales, is uncertain, but its beginning is well known.
