Eusebio Fernández Muñiz

On a professional level, Fernández was a businessman dedicated to the automobile sector, being a representative of the Catalan automotive company Hispano-Suiza in Barcelona in the 1920s.

[4] At a sporting level, the team faced one of the worst moments in the club's history, having to contest relegation with FC Espanya in order to stay in the category of the Catalan Championship, which they eventually ended up doing.

[2] When he married Rodríguez in 1924, he returned to his hometown, with extensive experience in the world of football;[3] so much so that he joined the board of directors of Stadium Avilesino as a member to help its new president and brother-in-law, Gustavo Rodríguez Maribona,[2] in putting an end to the kit chaos that the club had by offering a new kit: blue and white, with vertical stripes, similar to the one of Espanyol, with Fernández knowing all the commercial resources (then scarce) to do it.

[4] In the mid-1920s, the Real Stadium, with its new blue and white flag, had become a very popular entity among the town's residents, to the point that candy stores filled Easter buns with small flags of the same colors to liven up both the party and the feeling they had towards the football club, which inevitably soon achieved the second category Spanish title.

[2] This feeling was so deep that the municipal authorities ended up adopting the same colors for the Avilés flag, which was hung from the balcony of the City Hall in the mid-1950s.
