River slammed for AFA split, fresh turmoil in Argentine football | OneFootball

Ricardo Carloni, former president of Rosario Central, came out swinging after the decision was announced that the Millionaires would stop participating in the meetings of the Executive Committee of the Argentine Football Association.

The surprising decision by River 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 governing body, made a strong post on his X account: “That aura of treacherous coup that River Plate carries as its own hallmark is almost devastating.”

Carloni's explosive post was in response to the 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 AFA, just minutes after the strong statement from the Millionaires 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 a coup plotter.

Despite reaffirming his commitment and connection with the AFA, especially regarding 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 governing body of Argentine football.
