Former Arroca president Joaquim Brandao de Almeida, who led the club from 1967 to 1969, died this Friday at the age of 89, the I Football League emblem announced on social networks.
The director was the first to take charge of Arukenses after joining the Aveiro Football Association in 1967 and was therefore an important figure in the early years of the club’s history, something Wolves made sure to remember in their condolences.
