Garlick’s Vision for Antequera CF
When someone talked to him recently Garlick said it’s all about the journey not just winning stuff. When he was at Burnley he made sure money was good and tried to grow things careful, and that’s what he wants to do at Antequera too. He thinks if you do things right and give it time you can make Antequera really good in Spanish football.
🗣️ “The most enjoyable thing about Burnley wasn’t the day you won something or got promotion but the actual journey — and I wanted a journey. I looked at Antequera and thought, ‘We could go on a journey here’”

Strategic Insights from the Football World
While Garlick is starting this new thing lots of other stuff is happening in football. Like Rúben Amorim is now gonna be the boss at Manchester United which is pretty big. Also, Claudio Ranieri coming back to AS Roma shows how important it is to have someone who knows what they’re doing. And then there’s Olympique Lyonnais having money problems which shows you gotta be careful with money.
