Pedro León Sánchez, the former professional footballer, has become president of Real Murcia with Felipe Moreno remaining as majority shareholder. The announcement was made by the grana entity, whose first team competes in the Primera RFEF, and in which the former captain and current symbol of murcianism occupies a key position that was previously held by the maximum leader of the centenary institution. "It is an honor to be president of Real Murcia. I am a football man and I will be in charge of the sports aspect. I will not be a desk president", said the muleño, who added that "the first team and the youth team are the two key branches". The protagonist of the day, who hung up his boots in the 3-0 win against Club Deportivo Eldense on Sunday 24 May at the age of 39 and after 22 seasons of professional career, seven of which were in the grana club, took the step that was expected for some time since it was already known that he had been offered that proposal once he left the ball. Felipe Moreno staged the moment accompanied by the former footballer. "I leave the presidency of the club. Pedro León will be the new president and I will continue to oversee the club on a daily basis", he said in an act convened under the slogan 'Let's enjoy the present walking towards the future' and which was held in the Enrique Roca stadium. "When the 2025/2026 economic exercise ends, Murcia will have reached the point of equilibrium. It will be our first season without losses", also declared the Cordovan businessman, majority shareholder of the club since 2023. The first team of Real Murcia competes in the Primera RFEF, the third category of Spanish football, and the club has a long history in the competition. The team has had several presidents over the years, but none has been as emblematic as Pedro León, who has been captain of the team and has played in the youth team of the club. The announcement of Pedro León as president of Real Murcia has been received with enthusiasm by the fans of the club, who see in him a leader who can take the team to new achievements. The team has plans to improve its infrastructure and team, and Pedro León is committed to the idea of making Real Murcia a competitive team in the Primera RFEF.
