Lorca David Navarro, ‘Peki’, formerly of Ciudad, Granada and Cádiz, brings this group and will be key in a directive that will continue to be chaired by Hugo Issa
Winds of change in Lorca football. After two and a half seasons with Argentinian Hugo Issa at the head of Lorca Deportiva, resulting in promotion to Segunda B and two sporting failures (relegation to 3rd RFEF and not even a ‘play-off’ in this last year), the project is enhanced with the arrival of a Mexican investor, whose identity is currently unknown. Issa, who had been looking for a partner for months to put money into the club, has reached an agreement with this investor for next season. 50% of the club remains owned by Issa and the other 50% remains with the investment group that comes from Mexico. The goal is to try to make direct promotion to the 2nd RFEF.
The arrival of this investor was key to Hugo Issa’s continuity at the head of Lorca Deportiva, a team that will be more ambitious than in previous seasons. David Navarro ‘Peki’ from Lorca, former manager of Ciudad de Murcia, Cadiz and Granada, was a fundamental person to bring this operation to a successful conclusion. It is he who brought this Mexican investment group and he will also help prepare the template.
After a few months of complicated negotiations, the agreement between the Mexican group and Hugo Issa is finalized, so some details will be revealed in the coming days. The project will be “very ambitious”, with the sole aim of being promoted to 2nd RFEF on the fast track, betting on first place in Group 13. The Blue & Whites will have to compete for that first place with two other key teams such as like Águilas and Atlético Pulpileño, recently relegated and who will have a high budget.
The management of Lorca Deportiva is now joint. Hugo Issa has sold 50% of the club but remains the president, while the new investment group will also be part of the decisions and will have confidence in the management of the project. In the sport, it would be Sergio Aracil who would sit on the bench as the president is his main supporter.
