José Alonso’s first steps to steady Colón’s finances | OneFootball

After taking over the presidency of Colón, José Alonso has outlined the following initial economic and management measures, focusing on transparency and resolving urgent financial issues, with updated details on the amounts to be addressed.

Initial Measures

Internal Audit: One of the immediate actions has been to announce the start of an internal audit to determine the real state of the club’s finances, which he described as “complex” and “a little bit worrying.”

Lifting FIFA Sanctions: The immediate priority is to resolve the sanction situation due to Alberto Espínola that is weighing on the club in order to operate in the transfer market. The management must urgently pay $1.6 million for the debt with the squad, and an additional $1 million by February. There is a possibility to deduct $800,000 if the payments for Forneris and Picco are collected.

Payment of Overdue Salaries: It was confirmed that this Friday the overdue salaries owed to the professional squad will be paid.

Restructuring Professional Football: Beyond the financial urgencies, Alonso plans a “profound restructuring” of the football department, including building a new team. In this context, the addition of Diego Colotto as sporting director has been confirmed.

Transparency and Horizontal Work: Alonso has stated that his administration will prioritize transparency and a “horizontal working approach” within the board of directors. In the coming days, a press conference is expected where the president will provide more details about the economic situation and the complete action plan.
