16.09.2009 - Under recently-installed new coach Iván Deniz, Ten­erife made several late sign­ings to make up for time lost during the summer, when the club’s financial future was looking in doubt and doubts also surrounded whether it would continue in its La Laguna stadium or move to Santa Cruz.  The new signings include two Brazilians, Atila Santos and Bruno Fiorotto, in whom Deniz has placed his hopes for the coming year.

Santos in particular looks a useful addition, having al­ready spent a year in Europe with Bulgarian outfit Cherno More.  The ex-Minnesota State University forward is described as “a very physical player” by his new coach and should beef up the defence considerably.  The equally big Fiorotto was signed from Limeira club in Brazil and is a full international with his native country.  The club’s other major signings of the close season are American Kevin Freeman, a 31-year-old who has played in Australia, Mexico and Venezuela in recent years, and Weyinmi Efejuku, a US-born Jamaican, who joins the club straight from college.
