Joao Maleck
Joao Maleck is a 26-year-old Mexican footballer of Cameroonian origin and French nationality, who plays as a center-forward. He recently made headlines as the latest signing for the newly promoted Guadalupe team ahead of the Torneo de Apertura 2025. Maleck has a history of playing for clubs like Santos Laguna in Mexico and various reserve teams in Europe. However, his career has been marred by a tragic incident in June 2019, when he was involved in a fatal car accident that resulted in the deaths of a newlywed couple. He was subsequently found to be driving under the influence and served 18 months in prison before being released after financial settlements were made with the victims' families.
