Arsenio Iglesias (Arteixo, 1930-A Coruña, 2023), the myth of sportsmanship, has passed away this morning at the age of 92. The former blue and white player and coach is a central figure of the club with which he played in First in the 50sto which he promoted in 1971 and 1991 and led to his first national title commanding the Superdepor in 1995, but his figure transcended the field of play due to his way of being, making him a guide to sportsmanship. The idea is to install a burning chapel in the Riazor Stadium, although preparations are underway.
Con Arsenio Iglesias The most enduring figure and the one who has left the greatest mark on the world is leaving. Deportivo in its 116-year history. Ever since he was a child and he would run away from home to see John Acuna when the Depor I was in the spa of Arteixo until today a whole life has passed.
He was that excited child with a team and with his idols, he was that deserving young man who alternated with the Canaro Orchestra and the team of Scopelli and that shortly after he debuted, he was that companion who was next to Luis Suarez when he was taking his first steps, he was that person from A Coruña who had to emigrate to Alicante already Granada before returning home, he was that coach who came to the rescue in 1971, in 1988 with the goal of Vicentehe was that beacon that led the team back to the First Division after 18 years of darkness, he was the one who returned from retirement to command a unique and generational team that gave the club its first title, 1995. It was his last act of service on the pitch, but he always guided Deportivo with a way of being and as a way of understanding sport and life.
