Rudy Gestede returns as Head of Football Operations 

Former striker Rudy Gestede has returned to Blackburn Rovers as our new Head of Football Operations. He sat with RoversTV for an extended interview.
Rudy scored 35 goals in 72 appearances for Rovers between November 2013 and July 2015, forming a formidable strike partnership with Jordan Rhodes, prior to playing Premier League football with Aston Villa and Middlesbrough.
As well as having a distinguished playing career to his name, which includes spells in six different countries, the former Benin international boasts an impressive global business background and will bring a modern and progressive approach to the new role.
The 35-year-old will work closely alongside Rovers’ Chief Executive Steve Waggott, head coach John Eustace and the returning Head of Recruitment John Park in a move to expand and enhance the football operation at the club.
Welcome back, Rudy!
