Cecilia Pérez, former Sports Minister and metropolitan intendant, has assumed the presidency of Azul Azul, the concessionaire managing Universidad de Chile, becoming the first woman to lead a Primera División club in Chile. She replaces Michael Clark, who resigned last week amid a sanction from the Financial Market Commission over the Sartor case. Pérez pledged teamwork to improve sports and financial performance, including the dream of a new stadium.
Cecilia Pérez, a former minister in Sebastián Piñera's governments, will assume the presidency of Azul Azul, the concessionaire managing Universidad de Chile football club, succeeding Michael Clark. The executive, a lifelong fan of La U, has been praised by colleagues for her passion for football and experience in sports policies. Her appointment marks a milestone as the first woman to preside over a sports anonymous society.
