Carlos Alfaro Moreno said last January that he would not run for Barcelona SC in order to try to lead the yellow club for a second presidential term. “I made the decision before the final against Aucas and communicated it to all members of the board. I will not ask for re-election as president of Barcelona”, he declared half a year ago. Then, last February, he confirmed his decision and even said that the current board of directors, which has capable people, will leave a candidate who will try to give “continuity” to their work. And Alfaro Moreno listed names and surnames: “One (of the capable people) is Rafael (Verduga), who has done a great job on the financial side,” he said.

Carlos Alfaro Moreno was not convinced of the management of Segundo Castillo as interim manager of Barcelona SC?

And although the Canarian CEO has noted several times that he “worked intensively in these four years”, and that he revealed this desire: “To continue my life”, and explained that he will leave “for personal and family reasons”, the indications that Alfaro Moreno gives about the change of position become clearer after talking to the media, this Saturday.

“The restoration of Damián Díaz was the president’s decision, he is the one who hires.” The board of directors is only informed and that must change,’ is the critic of Rafael Verduga, the candidate for the president of Barcelona SC

“Family Talk”

“We are talking. It’s not an easy decision for me. It’s hard to undo a decision I made a year ago. I thought about it, I talk about it with my family,” said the former Toreador soccer player about the analysis he is doing to resolve what seems to be a fact: the intention to run for president in the September 2 elections.

Darkness in Barcelona SC and flash in Emelec

Harsh parting speech no longer exists. Alfaro Moreno added: “The reality is that another four years seems very far away; that’s the point. There is also a large group of people who give me strength with their words, support and encouragement. Maybe in the next few days we’ll post something; We haven’t decided anything yet. The most important decisions come from heaven and at home,” commented club owner Astillero.

Rafael Verduga

Last Thursday, Rafael Verdugo officially launched his candidacy and presented Matías Oyola as a vice-presidential candidate, who played as a midfielder for Barcelona SC from 2009 to 2021, where he won three national awards (2012, 2016, 2020). Verduga distanced himself from Alfaro Moreno. He is no longer a candidate of the ruling party.

Ten days ago, Verduga explained to Alfaro Moreno: “We did not fight. We have differences, like everyone. He has a different vision. He is the president and he implements the model he wants. There is a board of directors that two or three think differently”. But the businessman from Guayaquil lost his mind: “I always saw him at be (Alfaro Moreno) is far from politics, but I think he is attracted to it now. (D)
