End of 2024 will be a key time for the political life of Racing. In December there will be presidential elections and it has not yet been confirmed who will represent the ruling party, since the current president Víctor Blanco He does not plan to run due to age issues, as he would end a hypothetical term after re-election at the age of 82.
Although there are almost eight months left, the veil of the intentions of some people linked to the Academy is already beginning to be lifted.
Last January Diego Milito -a prodigal son of the club– He indicated that he wants to be president. The “Prince” seriously analyzes being the future head of the Avellaneda institution and he is preparing and surrounding himself in the best way to make his dream come true. In any case, it remains to resolve some details with your family environment.
This possibility was strengthened during the last hours when the former Minister of Economy under the presidency Mauricio Macri, Hernan Lacunzaexpressed in the program Bread and Circuswhich is broadcast on Radio Rivadavia, which seriously analyzes presenting itself as a member of one of the political blocs. “I do not rule out participating in the Racing elections”he indicated.
“We are friends with Milito, we share a lot of things and we want a better club, but it is still very premature”he continued Lacunza regarding a possible alliance with the former player and idol of racingwhom all the candidates will look for so that members can cast their votes at the polls.
If Lacunza reaches an important position in Racing, a particular case would occur in Argentine football: the two Avellaneda teams would have political roots linked to the PRO, since Independietne is chaired by Néstor Grindetti, who holds the position of Chief of Staff of Ministers of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.
Everyone in the “Cilindro” dreams of seeing Diego Milito sitting in the academic presidential chair. What’s more, even Víctor Blanco gave him his support: “I’m not going to commit anything against Milito. “If he presents himself and has a good project, we will rally behind him, of course. Hopefully”.
Milito was Technical Secretary of the club, but in 2020 he decided to leave his position due to disagreements with some leaders. At that time he pointed out that he was distancing himself from him because they did not allow him to work with planned and projected ideas.
During the time he held his position, he chose Eduardo Coudet as coach and Racing was champion of the 2018-2019 Super League and the 2019 Champions Trophy.
In those campaigns he attracted footballers who showed high performances in that campaign, such as Leonardo Sigali, Gustavo Bou and Alejandro Donatti; in addition to others like Walter Montoya, David Barbona and Matias Rojas.
Before leaving office Military He left a memorable phrase, as it still echoes in all sectors of the Cylinder: “
a remembered phrase that revealed the difference in criteria in management: “The investment cannot be considered an expense.”
