Rompiendo la Maldición del Atlas | Alfonso Urrea

This is a recorded interview (YouTube) in which Alfonso Urrea recounts the acquisition and early management of the Club Atlas soccer team. He explains that José Manuel Gómez and Ricardo Salinas arranged Atlas’s purchase (an episode noted as happening at a party in Tapalpa), and credits Grupo Salinas with preventing Atlas’s potential disaffiliation. Urrea describes early missteps in how funds were spent during the first two years, the creation of an advisory council under then-president Gustavo Guzmán, and the formation of three committees (including a football committee in which Urrea participated) to institutionalize the club. He reflects on the unusual economics of football—where competitors are also league partners, buyers and sellers of players, and sometimes collaborators—and notes that Ricardo Salinas later partnered with Alejandro Irarragorri (Garagori/Irarragorri) to form Orlegi Sports, with Urrea participating modestly in support.
