From the end of May, the implementation began to take shape, yet the Intercity project stubbornly delayed any formal intercity appointment until today. Juanfran Torres, a former football star and vice president with full powers on the sports field, steps into a pivotal role as the owner of SAD closes the void created by the resignations of key figures and the restructuring that followed. The signing marks a new phase for the club as it moves toward stabilizing its sporting leadership and preparing for the next steps in its long-term plan to compete at higher levels.
Crevillentino, approaching 37 years old in January, will be tasked with assembling a squad capable of reaching professional football. The former Atlético Madrid forward accepts the challenge with a measured enthusiasm, contrasting with the Intercity leadership who, after a recent match against La Nucía, were clear about pursuing a promotion into the professional ranks on the season’s final day. The ambition is bold: advance to professional football at Olympic Camilo Cano.
We want the entire sporting structure to be professionalized to help the club become one of the best in the category and to one day realize the shared dream of reaching professional football, the Alicante native explains. He acknowledges the hurdles ahead and does not set a fixed timetable for achieving the goal. The interim leadership, who had signaled a strong push, clarified that Intercity should aim for a fifth promotion in six years, even while the club debates its readiness against larger, more established competitors in the league.
Since joining the project a little over a year ago as one of the major shareholders, Torres has spoken about bringing a new mindset to the club. He describes facing the challenges with humility and heart, a philosophy he has carried through his career as he directed the team’s development in previous seasons. He is a former rojiblanco footballer who has represented the national and international stage, bringing a wealth of experience to the men in black. He stresses that his involvement is geared toward continuing a record-breaking run and strengthening the sporting structure under the club’s current leadership, now chaired by Salvador Martí. The goal remains clear: to fuel the club’s drive toward sustained success after a fourth category promotion since its founding in 2017 on the remains of the old Sant Joan club. The leadership emphasizes that the appointment of the vice president will bolster the technical secretariat and support the club’s broader acceleration toward professional status.
