San Lorenzo shake-up: AFA backs interim committee, no ruling party | OneFootball

San Lorenzo’s institutional crisis has entered a decisive phase. In recent days, club officials held meetings with Claudio Tapia and managed to convince him with a concrete proposal: to form a transitional committee, backed by financial guarantees to address urgent debts and the bankruptcy request, and without the presence of Marcelo Moretti.

The structure presented to Tapia has Sergio Constantino as its central figure, the current opposition board member and presidential candidate who finished third in the last elections. Joining him would be Cristian Evangelista, also from the opposition and a member of the current Board of Directors. The key point is that in this arrangement, no significant officialist leaders will remain, marking a deep political rupture within the club.

Next week could be the pivotal moment. According to reports, Tapia will push for a Board of Directors meeting, where mass resignations are expected. This move would lead to a formal power vacuum and pave the way for the creation of the transitional committee that will manage the Boedo club for a period yet to be defined. The duration of this transition will be determined by the AFA, which will set the deadlines.

The goal of the new structure is to ensure urgent institutional reorganization amid an economic and political crisis that includes significant debts and a bankruptcy request. In this context, the priority for the AFA and the leaders who promoted the change is to stabilize the club before deciding how and when new elections will be called.

Meanwhile, the professional squad also received clarity regarding their schedule. It was decided that the team will train until December 5 and then go on vacation until January 27, when they will resume activities in preparation for the triple competition in 2026.

San Lorenzo is living through decisive hours. The upcoming meetings could mark the beginning of a completely new era, with provisional leadership, without Moretti, and with the opposition at the helm.
