San Lorenzo declare leadership void, elections date revealed | OneFootball

The board meeting that took place on Tuesday afternoon ended up declaring a leadership vacuum in San Lorenzo, after enough resignations were submitted for this to happen. Without the presence of Marcelo Moretti and amidst a lot of tension due to the presence of the fan club within the club, a quorum was reached for the conclave to take place.

Details have not yet been released on how many directors stepped aside (it was necessary for at least half plus one of the 20 members to do so), although it was confirmed from the venue that the corresponding documentation is being signed. The next step is to form a transitional committee and then call for elections within a period of 60, 90 or 120 days.

Some members of the San Lorenzo fan club positioned themselves in the traditional popular stand they occupy at every home game shouting "everyone out". Although there were no major incidents, a director who arrived late to the meeting was recognized and had to leave without being able to enter due to attacks on his vehicle.

Hours before the summit, the club's second vice president, Andrés Terzano, had confided to TyC Sports: "Our block will provide the necessary resignations to generate a leadership vacuum. There are still six more people from Boedo en Acción who have not resigned". During the afternoon, his decision was officially communicated along with that of three other directors: Soledad Boufflet, Mateo Sagardoy and Leandro Virardi.

In addition, Terzano added that the management "failed and lost all credibility and legitimacy before the membership base", and concluded: "We are convinced that the way forward is to call for elections in a short period with an orderly transition process". The other resignations that had been announced and remained to be confirmed were those of Martín Cigna, Julio Lopardo, Marcelo Culotta, Javier Allievi, Alejandro Barros, Pablo García Lago, Pablo Levalle, Mariano Marino, Alan Navarro, Agustina Nordestrom and Emiliano Rodríguez.

All of this happens in the context of Cigna's complaint against Moretti for the alleged forgery of his signature on a sworn statement presented to Aprevide before the match against Racing. "I did not sign that document or any other since I submitted my resignation. It constitutes a complex situation, first because it is a crime; but, on the other hand, this gives me the clue that I do not know what they are signing or what Marcelo Moretti is using my signature for", he expressed.
