New Argentine era for ‘Los Rojillos’

What was just a rumor in the last weeks has now become a reality. Argentine businessman Germán Luis Corengia has acquired UD Torre del Mar, the best football club in the Axarquia region, now competing in Group 9 of the Tercera RFEF. This marks the departure of Daniel Pastor, who had been leading the team but bought another football club, La Unión Atlético, a team based in Murcia.

In an official statement, the Axarquia-based club confirmed the change in ownership and management. “The club’s direction is now in the hands of a business group represented by Germán Luis Corengia,” the statement read. Corengia, 44 years old, is a former footballer and current coach of Montijo (3ª RFEF). But he is also a businessman with ties to the football industry. Speculation about his involvement had been growing for weeks, and he was recently spotted at the Juan Azuaga stadium, closely following the team.

This transition signals the exit of Pastor’s investment group. He now plans to relocate his new club, La Unión Atlético, the current leader of Group 2 in Segunda RFEF, from Murcia to Malaga.

UD Torre del Mar is in its fourth season in Tercera RFEF and tries to establish itself at the top of the table. This season, after 28 rounds played, ‘Los Rojillos’ are in the third position. In the last two seasons, the club reached the promotion playoffs but was eliminated by El Palo and Real Jaén.
