“I have thought about it a lot, I confess. I have asked myself many times whether or not it was worth it. The truth is, I have to confess with my heart in my hand that I believe it is.”he assured during the broadcast of his program, Herrera in Cope. “I’m going to show up to clean up, to regenerate, so that the future of Spanish football is in the news for its successes and not for the shenanigans”the presenter has promised on the airwaves.

Until then, Rafael del Amopresident of the territorial federation of Navarra and the National Women’s Football Committee, will lead it.

Carlos Herrera and Pepa Gea
They both share their passion for radio and journalism. Pepa, who went through Cope and Ser, is the director and presenter of the program More than One Madrid of Onda Cero. She has been working at this network for almost three decades and it is at this station where she met her now husband, at the time when he also worked there (2001-2015).
In her professional profile, she defines herself as a woman “passionate about communication and social networks, whether through the airwaves, writing or images.” In addition to being a journalist, she is a university expert in Nutrition and Dietetics, and a great defender of healthy living. Pepa, very reserved with her private life like her husband, resides in Madrid and has two daughters from a previous relationship. Herrera, for his part, is the father of Alberto Herrera and Rocío Crusset, his two children with Mariló Montero.
The two got married on December 5 in New York: “I gladly share this snapshot with you. Thank you for your affection and interest,” the journalist wrote days later, along with a photo of the wedding (image below). The wedding was celebrated in a very discreet way, with the presence of their children and without it first being revealed to the media.
