The former chairman of Burnley FC, Mike Garlick (second left), has just become the new owner of the Costa del Sol’s Antequera CF football club, who play in Group II of the Primera RFEF.
In an announcement, the club said, “Mike Garlick, new owner of Antequera CF. The English businessman, known for managing his clubs in a prudent and sustainable manner, was president and largest shareholder of Burnley FC, a team with which he achieved two promotions to the Premier League and a qualification to the UEFA Europa League in 2018, making him the most successful president of the modern era for the renowned English club.”
But Garlick himself was the first to play down any expectations of miraculous promotion to La Liga for Antequera: “A football team has to be built step by step. It is very important to me. I want an evolution, not a revolution.”
In 2021, he sold his majority stake in Burnley FC and bought St. Joseph’s FC in Gibraltar in 2022, which he still owns.
