Yes, neither Deco, nor Alemany wanted to share the sportsdirector position. Both are too alpha/stubborn to do that sadly, because working together would have created an unbeatable duo, since their strengths, Deco in sports (scouting, agent network) and Alemany in the financial sector complement each other perfectly. A real shame they couldn't work together.
Wasn't also Jordi Cruyff in this conflicting position, Alemany & Deco?
Cruyff and Alemany worked together without problems. When he stepped down and Deco was brought in, tensions started to rise with Alemany because Deco wanted more power.
As a local saying goes: "Too many aunties/grandmas, a skinny baby.". You need one strong figure in charge, not a conglomerate of three.
