Amador Suarez, who was Ramon Calderon’s vice-president from 2006 - 2009, passed away on Tuesday at the age of 76 due to coronavirus.
The following is an official statement from RealMadrid.com:
Real Madrid C.F., its president and board of directors are deeply saddened by the passing of Amador Suárez, who served as a board member from 2006 and as vice-president between 2007 and 2009.
Real Madrid wishes to express its condolences and sends its love and warm regards to all of his family and loved ones. During his spell as a member of the Real Madrid board, the club’s football team lifted two LaLiga titles and a Spanish Super Cup, whilst the basketball team won the league and the ULEB Cup.
Suárez was a Real Madrid club member for 33 years and passes away at the age of 76 after suffering from coronavirus. He was president of Grupo Amasua and the Spanish Fishing Confederation.
Still can't believe La Liga is trying to get teams back to training in a matter of weeks. The idea that sports could be restarted safely any time soon is a fantasy. https://t.co/SFK61fmE77
