Aurelio Sánchez, father of the Real Betis star, died this Wednesday at the age of 78 after being admitted to a hospital in El Puerto de Santa María in serious condition due to a worsening of his health. Joaquín, who was very close to his mother and had canceled all his work obligations to be by his side, is devastated.
Aurelio served as Joaquín's first representative and was his greatest support at the beginning of his sports career. He enjoyed the victories by his side and consoled him in the worst moments. It was precisely Real Betis Balompie that was in charge of announcing the tragic news through social networks with an emotional farewell message: “Real Betis Balompié shows its deepest regret for the death of Don Aurelio Sánchez, father of our legend Joaquín Sánchez. Rest in peace.”
