Tomás Calvo: An Atlético Legend Behind the Scenes
Beyond the goals and titles, Atlético de Madrid is built with figures like Tomás Calvo. His career, first in sports journalism and then in the club’s communication department, is an example of dedication and passion for the Red and Whites.
From his arrival at MARCA, where he already stood out for his professionalism and bonhomie, to his incorporation into Atlético, Tomás has been a fundamental pillar in the shadows. His perennial smile and his willingness to help everyone, both colleagues and journalists, made him a beloved figure at the club.
For more than two decades, he contributed to the growth of the communication department, efficiently and kindly managing media access to the Calderón and the Metropolitano. His commitment and loyalty to Atlético were recognized by the club and his colleagues, who paid him an emotional surprise tribute after his pre-retirement.
The presence of Mario Suárez at the event was a sign of the affection he garnered among the players. Although life has put obstacles in his way, Tomás has always maintained his positive spirit and his unconditional love for Atleti. We will miss him at gate 6 of the Metropolitano, but we are sure we will continue sharing moments and anecdotes at Bonanno. An Atlético heart that leaves its mark on the history of the club.
