Santiago Morning
Club de Deportes Santiago Morning (popularly known as Chaguito Morning or Morning) is a Chilean professional football club based in Recoleta, Santiago. They compete in the Chilean Primera División B. Santiago Morning was one of the founding teams of the league. Although the club has a long history in Chilean football, it has managed just one league title in more of 100 years.
Founded in 1903, when Santiago established its own association of football, thanks to the management of Santiago College's students. The club was founded on 19 October, under the name of Santiago Football Club. Three days later, the club played his first game against the teacher's team. The club was one of founders of the Chilean Primera División in 1933, being one of the first teams on play in the First Division. In 1936, the club was renamed with current name of Santiago Morning, after the merger of Santiago Football Club and Morning Star. During this time, the club was one of most popular teams of the country.
Santiago Morning's traditional rival is Magallanes, with who dispute the 'Metropolitan Derby'. The major shareholder of the club is the former footballer Miguel Nasur, since Demetrio Marinakis left the club in 2005.

Famous quotes containing the word morning:
“I believe that what so saddens the reformer is not his sympathy with his fellows in distress, but, though he be the holiest son of God, is his private ail. Let this be righted, let the spring come to him, the morning rise over his couch, and he will forsake his generous companions without apology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
