Cecilia Pérez Vows to Defend Universidad de Chile After Training Center Raid

Universidad de Chile faces a tumultuous period off the field, marked by a recent police raid on its Centro Deportivo Azul (CDA) and related offices of majority shareholder Michael Clark. Cecilia Pérez, the newly appointed president of the club's operating company, Azul Azul, has spoken out forcefully against the proceedings.

“

Fue una semana compleja en lo extradeportivo. En lo deportivo, el plantel, el cuerpo técnico y la gerencia de Manuel Mayo han tenido claridad. Hay que mantener todo separado para que el plantel masculino y femenino puedan concentrarse y que les vaya bien

Pérez described the week as 'complex' due to these external issues but emphasized the team's focus on sporting matters. She highlighted the clarity provided by the coaching staff and management, ensuring that both the men's and women's teams can concentrate on their performance. The raid, requested by the Prosecutor's Office in connection with the 'Sartor case,' was criticized by Pérez for its lack of prior notification to the club regarding the scope of the judicial order.

“

Sin duda fue desagradable para los funcionarios y funcionarias. Yo estuve todo el día ahí, hasta que se fue el último de nuestros trabajadores

Addressing financial concerns stemming from a bankruptcy filing against Sartor, Pérez clarified that Sartor holds no ownership in the private investment fund Tactical Sport, aiming to quell anxieties about the club's administration. Her message concluded with a resolute declaration: "I can tell you that I will defend the club with courage and all the necessary claws. Because Universidad de Chile is not to be touched, nor is it to be disrespected, neither its fans nor its employees."
