Amadeo Salvo Lillo (born 31 March 1967)[1] is a Spanish businessman and football executive. He was the president of Valencia CF from 2013 to 2015, and founded UD Ibiza in 2015.
Biography
Born in Valencia,[1] Salvo was the founder of Power Electronics, serving as director general from 1990 to 2011 and then as executive vice president.[2]
Salvo was elected president of his hometown's La Liga club Valencia CF in June 2013, while the club was experiencing financial difficulties. He received over 90% of the vote.[3] In May 2014, he supported the takeover of the club by Singapore billionaire Peter Lim.[4] In December, Lim moved Salvo to executive president, while the presidency of the board went to his associate Lay Hoon Chan.[5] Salvo resigned in July 2015, shortly after sporting director Francisco Rufete and several other backroom staff, and Chan took his place. Salvo dismissed allegations that he had a feud with manager Nuno Espírito Santo and Portuguese sports agent Jorge Mendes, a close friend of Lim and alleged influence in the running of the club.[6]
Days after leaving Valencia CF, Salvo founded UD Ibiza, a revival of the UD Ibiza-Eivissa club that folded in 2010. He was able to use the defunct club's identity by settling its debts of over €50,000 with the Balearic Islands and national football federations.[2] Prohibited from promotion out of the regional divisions for two years as a new team,[2] the club reached the Tercera División in 2017 and the Segunda División B a year later, before reaching the Segunda División in May 2021 with a playoff win over UCAM Murcia CF.[7] Weeks before the promotion, the club was converted into a Sociedad Anónima Deportiva (SAD), a form of public limited company obligatory for clubs in the top two divisions of Spanish football; the initial capital was €700,000.[8]
