Alejandro Bonazzola: "We found the club almost abandoned by its management" | OneFootball

Alejandro Bonazzola, 3rd Vice President of Colón, spoke at noon on LA DOCE on Radio GOL 96.7 about various topics concerning the institution. He also detailed the management he is developing in Buenos Aires and his connection with AFA.

Intense Start of Management at Colón

Dr. Alejandro Bonazzola described his first weeks in the leadership of Club Colón as «extremely intense, with a lot of management». Taking over the club without a long transition between the elections and taking office has been a challenge, in addition to «the very urgent problems we had to address and are resolving».

The State of the Club and the Previous Management

Bonazzola did not hesitate to describe the situation he found, stating: «we found a club, which I personally qualify as almost in a state of abandonment in management». He criticized the previous administration, mentioning «many errors seen in the contracts made, in the fine print of the contracts, contracts in dollars, truly inadmissible things, a situation that even seemed like disinterest».

Economic Management and Debts

Regarding the difficult economy, which included «the number of checks issued», the committee decided to «respect the commitments made». However, this has not prevented renegotiation: «we have rescheduled some deadlines to give us the ease to comply with everyone, but to this day we have not had a rejected check in the club's administration».

Priorities and Objectives

The management's priorities quickly focused on institutional normalization. Bonazzola outlined the steps to follow: «first was to regularize the team's payroll, we are resolving the issue of inhibition and from there to build a competitive team». The main objective is clear and demanded by the fans: «we all know what Colón's objective is and what people demand from Colón».

The Primera Nacional Draw

Regarding participation in the Primera Nacional draw, he highlighted the atmosphere and the club's perception: «a climate of great camaraderie among the leaders, of great solidarity» and that «Colón stands out as a club in the context of the Primera Nacional League, it is a very important club, everyone wants to be close to Colón, everyone talks about Colón».

Future and Call for Unity

Looking to the future, the vice president was optimistic, though cautious: «I believe that Colón with good administration and making the adjustments we need to make and being smart… we will have a rather uphill first 6 months, but we will get through it».

His final message to the fans was a call for unity: «The desire is for us to be all together, aligned with the objective of what we all want, and for everyone to try to push in that direction, and I believe good things will happen».
