Atlético Guardés Board Resigns After Three-Week Tenure

The move raises alarm over a reported €400,000 debt to former sponsor Mecalia and forces the club to call an extraordinary assembly to choose new leaders.

Overview

  • The club announced that president Fernando Reyes and his entire board tendered their resignations on Monday, citing "motivos personales" in an official statement.
  • The board had taken charge only two to three weeks earlier and had begun auditing accounts and finalizing the playing squad before stepping down.
  • Local reporting cites a roughly €400,000 liability to former sponsor Mecalia, which has reportedly offered to accept repayments spread over time by a payment plan.
  • Coach José Ignacio Prades has returned to run the first team's pre-season training so the squad can keep preparing while the club sorts its leadership.
  • The club has called an extraordinary assembly to elect new leadership, and limited institutional support plus difficulty finding new sponsors leave the team’s long-term viability uncertain.
