Mallorca's jet-setting owners have taken them out of the Spanish third tier to one game from the Europa League - but the Graeme Le Saux-backed side don't plan on stopping yet as midfielder Dani Rodriguez opens up on the feel-good story

Football clubs owned or operated by wealthy retired sports celebrities don't always thrive, but Mallorcan soccer teams Andy Kohlberg, Steve Nash, Steve Kerr, and Graeme Le Saux are 90 minutes away from winning the Spanish Cup and moving into next season's Europa League. Kohlberg, a former tennis pro, is the majority shareholder. Both Nash and Kerr, one of Basketball's most legendary names, are co-owners. Le Saux, a former England defender, is a director and advisor. All of them have a large part in the tale. The club was relegated to the wretchedness of Spain's third class just a year after the flashy US-based ownership got involved in 2016. The climb back to the top flight, down again, restarted, and back to the Copa del Rey final on Saturday has been a rollercoaster, and the first to point to individuals like Dani Rodriguez as the real motor behind the spectacular ride. 'Those of us who have been here for a long time have seen a little bit of everything,' the midfielder tells Sports Mail as the best day in the club's history in the last two decades looms.
