“When all this happened, they offered me the ‘ Atlas and I made the decision to stay, but I saw that it was not what I wanted when things were given because they told me one thing and then another and it changed everything “.
Climbing to state that his only intention was always to be part of the board of the Barça team and not of Querétaro, As he is a loyal supporter of Barça and that is why he started with a minimum percentage of shares.
“It happened because I wanted to participate and I came in with 10 percent stock when the team was in Cancun and it was nothing more than that, when it comes to all the hauling the parties agreed that the others would stay with Querétaro and I with Atlas and I throw it at her because otherwise who knows what would have happened to the team”.
A start from scratch
With this administration the Atlante team started from scratch, it was a playerless project and in its first half they reached the Final from’ Opening 2020, losing it in overtime in front Tampico Madero.
