Belgian businessman Roland Duchâtelet on Friday became the majority shareholder of Spanish second division side Alcorcón. Duchâtelet now owns six teams, including League Championship club Charlton Athletic, which he took over on Jan. 3. He also owns two Belgian clubs -- Standard and Sint Truidense -- German side Carl Jeiss Zena and Hungarian club Ujpest FC.
