Ángel Torres Sánchez

Ángel Torres Sánchez (born 7 May 1952) is a Spanish businessman, owner of Getafe CF since 2002.

Biography Born in Recas, province of Toledo, At Kelvinator, a freezer manufacturer, he lost his job while striking as a member of the Workers' Commissions (CCOO); he was also fired from a factory in Fuenlabrada in solidarity with another employee whose service was terminated.

In the 1980s, Torres prospered in construction during a boom in the expansion of Madrid's commuter towns. He sold his interests in the industry in order to buy bars, bingo halls and nightclubs in one of those towns, Getafe. In 2002, the town's mayor, Pedro Castro Vázquez, convinced him to buy the football club Getafe CF.

Upon finishing as runners-up in the 2003–04 Segunda División, Getafe CF achieved promotion to La Liga for the first time,

In December 2004, Torres suggested that his team play in blackface as an anti-racist gesture, after some of his club's fans racially abused FC Barcelona player Samuel Eto'o.
