Carlos Weaver he will be 74 in January, his health is no longer what it was, he suffers from osteoarthritis and his bones are weak “very bad”and has decided to get rid of headaches, although the gerund, surely gave him more joy than anything else. Last Saturday Teixidor, founder and soul mate of this women’s football project that was born in the city ten years ago, signed his letter of resignation. He leaves the club in the hands of Toni Badenas, businessman and father of two players, who will take advantage of the legacy he leaves to continue piloting an entity that “he has no roof”.
«The future is young people, not me. My idea was for the club to be taken over by the three people who have helped me these past years, my son Marcthe Monica Sance in a Dani Garrido. But for whatever reasons Marc has gone to live in Barcelona, la monica a Badalonain a Dani, in Blanes. And I, who wanted to leave, had to stay. But now I’m not old anymore», explained yesterday the former manager, who also presided over Girona between 1993 and 1995, in Segona B, in times much more turbulent and with less glamor than the current ones. Precisely one of Teixidor al Gerunda’s last decisions will have been to close a collaboration agreement with Montilivi.
Today, the beginnings of the club, in 2013, are far away, with only 13 registered players who wanted to “to learn” to play football That was the goal and the work he has done Carlos Weaver in the last decade. «I leave proud with the legacy I leave behind. There are now 200 girls registered, a total of 10 teams, from juniors to seniors and, in addition, two school groups, which do not compete, since the Gerund philosophysince its beginnings, is the training and learning soccer practice“, he emphasizes. And they do not have more teams due to lack of space in the municipal stadium of Fontajau, since they have to share the field with the Sant Ponç, with whom they have had some friction. In fact Teixidor has a verbal promise from the City Council to be able to move to Torres de Palau when Girona has the Sports City of Vilablareix and move there with the base. This would give renewed air to the entity to continue growing.
Carles Teixidor has always been committed to grassroots football, since his time as president of Girona FC, and created an exclusively female football club in 2013, when no one was betting on this sport. The founder of Gerunda admits that now football is different «diferent» and she doesn’t hide that she would like to see an ambitious project in Girona to move up categories and be a mirror for the girls who come up from below. Now the presidency will be in the hands of the Badenas family, fully committed to women’s football. Toni Badenas, the new president, says that “we want to continue the work done by Carles Teixidor and help grow the club more”. No sale or transfer has been made. “I simply signed my resignation as president and a new one has entered”says Teixidor, who emphasizes that with Gerunda “I haven’t won a penny”.
