Julio Lopardo left his post after questioning Claudio Tapia’s disregard for the club’s president on the AFA lists. Before, the secretary had left, with complaints about the advancement of the SAD scheme in the Boedo institution.
Saint Lawrence remains in institutional chaos, and continues to add problems every week. To the pitiful situation in the standings, eight points from relegation, resignations continue to be added. This time the Departure of the head of the Secretariat of Professional Football, Julio Lopardowho last month had been promoted to that position replacing Néstor Ortigoza. The curious thing is that while the club is on fire, his President Marcelo Moretti She is currently on tour in Europe, as portrayed on her social networks.
Lopardo, who was vice president in the nineties of Fernando Miele (ousted after trying to privatize the club in 2000), had questioned the neglect that Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia He placed Moretti (and therefore San Lorenzo) on the Argentine Football Association’s unity list that will renew his contract until 2028, where while the other big teams occupy strategic positions, the Boedo institution was rewarded with only a seat. Lorenzo came out on top against Tapia and then Moretti recanted it in press statements.
“San Lorenzo cannot be in a position of a member. That is saying ‘you do not exist’. Beyond the fact that there may or may not be a good relationship with a leader, history must be respected. It does not mean that if you have a vice presidency or a secretary you will be a champion, but I have never seen this in my life,” he said. Lopardo. And he also pointed at Tapia: “I think he doesn’t know the history of San Lorenzo. Suddenly he got it right with Scaloni and Messi and he thinks he can do what he wants. There are five million people behind San Lorenzo, there is no Moretti or Lorenzo or anyone else. Tapia is the president of Argentine football, he is not the owner. It is a disgrace.”
Morettiin statements to the Diario Olé, he said: “Julio’s words are out of place. The vice presidency, in quotation marks, is won. How is it won? With trust.” Lopardo, however, will continue in his position as a member of the Board of Directors.
The president, meanwhile, is still on a European tour, and after visiting the Pope in Rome he left for Spain, where he watched a Real Madrid match in the UEFA Champions League and met with representatives of local fan clubs.
Problems every day
When Moretti empowered Lopardo, he also catapulted the Secretariat of Professional Football to Alejandro Tamer, a manager who is part of Federico Sturzenegger’s teamthe main promoter of Sports Public Limited Companies (SAD) from the Ministry of Deregulation and State Transformation. This fact worried Tapia.
Before Lopardo had resigned the Club Secretary, Pablo Garcia Lagoand hinted that from within the ruling party, Sebastián Pareja, provincial senator of La Libertad Avanza and Milei’s organizer in the province of Buenos Aires, is not only gaining ground in the administration, but is also promoting an intervention through the IGJ that would ultimately lead to converting the Pope’s club into a SAD.
As if that were not enough, this week Nestor Ortigozawho campaigned alongside Moretti for the December elections, became even more involved in the case of gender violence after videos were leaked in which he mistreats his ex-partner, Lucía Cassiau. Faced with this situation, the club demanded his resignation.
