The Mar de Fondo Chronicle

Mar de Fondo part company with Eduardo Viera
The statement thanked him for his efforts and wished him well, in that order and in about that many words. The search begins immediately.

Andres Da Silva breaks a bone — 95 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 95 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

A stranger takes charge at Mar de Fondo
The coaching staff has emptied out entirely and there was nobody internal to promote, so the club has appointed a name almost none of its supporters will recognise. Clubs recover from this; none of them enjoy explaining it.

Interim Coach steps up at Mar de Fondo for now
“Somebody picks the team on Saturday. This week it is me, and that is as far as I have thought.” No promises were made in either direction, which is how these usually begin.

Brujo puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Mar de Fondo, and it is not being withdrawn.

Words exchanged at Mar de Fondo
Santiago de Gregorio and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Graduation day at Mar de Fondo
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Mar de Fondo promote Leonardo Lopez from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Leonardo Lopez has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
