La Liga chief Javier Tebas plays down Premier League link

La Liga president Javier Tebas has poured cold water on reports that he could leave his position to join the Premier League.

A report in The Times last week said the Spanish league chief was a surprise leading candidate to replace Richard Scudamore as Premier League chief executive.

“My virtues are here in Spain and I don’t wish to discuss that any further,” Tebas told an interview with Diario AS, published this week.

La Liga had released a statement claiming the link was ‘a source of pride’ for the Spanish top flight, but denied all knowledge that such a move was in the pipeline.
