Club Atlético Villacarlos Prepares for New Leadership Era as President Santi Morro Completes Term
Santi Morro will conclude his four-year presidency of Club Atlético Villacarlos this February, marking the end of a transformative era for the yellow-clad institution. The current board will initiate an electoral process this month, inviting club members to select new leadership capable of building upon Morro’s foundation while bringing renewed vision to the organization.
Voluntary Transition After Strategic Rebuilding
Morro emphasized his deliberate decision to step aside despite the club’s strong position: “After four years working tirelessly and selflessly, new people with renewed energy and enthusiasm are needed for continued growth. We believe it’s time for change.” His statement reflects a rare leadership approach in regional football – voluntarily transferring power during successful times rather than crisis.
Sporting Renaissance Under Morro’s Leadership
The outgoing president leaves behind dramatically improved sporting infrastructure:
- Youth Development: Transformed a near-defunct Regional team into a thriving squad of local talent
- Trophy Success: Captured the Regional Cup in their first season – only the second such victory in club history
- Expanded Participation: Increased teams from six to twelve across all competition levels
Pioneering Women’s Football Development
Morro’s board prioritized gender inclusion through strategic investment:
- Established three competitive women’s football teams
- Launched a women’s futsal squad
- Implemented professional coaching structures under coordinator Felipe Gornés
“We’ve created pathways for female athletes that didn’t exist four years ago,” Morro noted. “This infrastructure will endure beyond any presidency.”
Financial Stewardship Creates Stable Foundation
The administration reversed the club’s financial trajectory:
- Eliminated inherited negative balance
- Established what Morro describes as “one of the strongest economic positions in club history”
- Implemented transparent accounting practices praised by regional sports authorities
Call for Community Engagement
As the February transition approaches, Morro advocates for member involvement: “Most board members would continue, but fresh perspectives will benefit Villacarlos. Our structure is proven – now we need our supporters’ energy to propel it forward.”
Local sports analysts recognize Morro’s tenure as pivotal. “He stabilized the club through COVID disruptions while expanding participation – a remarkable dual achievement,” notes Menorca Football Association spokesperson Carlos Mascaró.
The electoral process begins February 15th, with new leadership expected to be ratified before the 2024 preseason. Club historian Elena Marí notes this marks only the fourth peaceful presidential transition since Villacarlos’ 1947 founding, signaling institutional maturity.
