The former player’s intent to find a new club marks the next step in his recovery and career, coming a year after the medical incident that forced him out of the sport.

De La Espriella took power last month vowing “all-out war” against illegal armed groups and he published the footage on Thursday in an apparent attempt to show he was fulfilling that pledge.
