Aguada announced the departure of García Morales and the player said that the leadership dismissed him again with a contract

“We announce the end of the participation of our player Leandro García Morales in our Institution. After 6 seasons, 2 leagues, 2 final four and many unforgettable moments, there is nothing left but to eternally thank one of the most important players in the history of the Club and the most emblematic for the last generations. Thank you Lea!”, Said the water carrier.

An hour later, García Morales provided a forceful response that he later qualified by stating that he understood the decision of the leadership now chaired by Daniel Olivera after the death of Alejandro Mazzeo: “Just like in my first stage at the club, the Aguada leadership decided to fire me even though I was under contract. I didn’t want to leave at that time and I didn’t want to leave now, but I understand the decision of the leadership and I thank them for trusting in my work all these years. I also want to thank all the aguateros fans for the endless displays of affection throughout all these years. Thank you very much, from the bottom of my heart!”

García Morales, educated in Biguá, arrived in Aguada in 2012-2013 and he conquered the Uruguayan League when Aguada had been 39 years without winning a title. The following season he was eliminated in the semifinals by Defensor Sporting and before the start of the third season he tore his knee ligaments in Puerto Rico. He recovered in record time and reached the playoffs where his team was eliminated in the quarterfinals by Hebraica Macabi.
