Ricardo Carloni, former president of Rosario Central, came out swinging after the decision was made public that the Millonario announced it would stop participating in the meetings of the Executive Committee of the Argentine Football Association.
River's surprising decision to stop participating in the meetings of the Executive Committee of the Argentine Football Association added a new chapter, as a historic former leader harshly criticized the institution.
Ricardo Carloni, former president of Rosario Central and close to the current leadership of the parent organization, made a strong post on his X account: “That aura of treacherous coup-mongering that River Plate carries as its own hallmark is almost devastating.”
Carloni's explosive post was in response to information provided by journalist Daniel Avellaneda on Radio Rivadavia, which involved Rodolfo D’Onofrio, former president of River.
The information spoke of the alleged interest of the national government in having D'Onofrio replace Claudio Tapia as president of the AFA, just minutes after the strong statement from the Millonario confirming that they would stop participating in the meetings of the Executive Committee of the Argentine Football Association.
Carloni used the tweet linking D’Onofrio with the AFA to respond with the strong message towards the Núñez institution, which he defines as coup-mongering.
Beyond reaffirming his commitment and connection with the AFA, especially concerning the defense of the non-profit civil association model, the statement expresses the dissatisfaction of Stefano Di Carlo’s leadership regarding the management and procedures of the parent organization of Argentine football.
