Former Real Madrid president Lorenzo Sanz dies after coronavirus diagnosis

Former Real Madrid president Lorenzo Sanz died on Saturday after he had tested positive for COVID-19, the club announced on Saturday afternoon. Sanz, according to ESPN, had suffered a fever for more than a week at home before he was admitted to a hospital in Madrid on Tuesday. Acaba de fallecer mi padre. No se merecía este final y de esta manera. Se va una de las personas más buenas,valientes,y trabajadoras que he visto en mi vida. Su familia y el Real Madrid eran su pasión.

Sanz served as Real Madrid’s president from 1995-2000 and led the club to a pair of Champions League titles — including one in 1998 over Juventus that ended a 32-year drought. The club also won La Liga in 1997 under his watch. He was succeeded by Florentino Perez. “Today, all of Madridismo is in mourning following the passing of the president who dedicated a huge part of his life to his great passion: Real Madrid,” the club said in a statement, in part. “Given the current circumstances, Real Madrid will give him the recognition he deserves as soon as possible.”

May he rest in peace.
