San Lorenzo’s future in the balance: decision set for Tuesday | OneFootball

Transition or headlessness. That's the debate at San Lorenzo since Marcelo Moretti's return to power. Now, after the scandal of forgery of signatures, a meeting of the Board of Directors has been called from the General Secretariat, in which the future of the club could be decided, with both options still on the table.

Specifically, the General Secretariat, led by Martín Cigna - who has already submitted his resignation but it must be approved -, sent the call and the agenda for the meeting. There, the first point to discuss is the "request to lift the license granted to Marcelo Moretti", while the second point is the "treatment of resignations". Thus, in just two lines, the future of San Lorenzo is debated.

As TyC Sports learned, the position of the members of the Board of Directors is to reject the lifting of the license granted to the president, and then form a new "transitional" commission, whose role would be to call for early elections within 60, 90 or 120 days.

Now, if Moretti were to resist and achieve the lifting of his license, then mass resignations would occur at the second point, triggering the headlessness of the club. There, the outcome would be the same, with the call for early elections, although in a more combative framework regarding the president's position.

The reality indicates that many directors have submitted their resignations, but they have not yet been approved by the Board of Directors. One of them is that of Julio Lopardo, the vice-president who took on the role of president during Moretti's leave. "From my interpretation, and that of the majority of lawyers linked to San Lorenzo, the president is Lopardo. First, because the lifting of Moretti's license has not yet been approved; and, on the other hand, because his resignation from the vice-presidency has not been approved either," said Martín Cigna, in conversation with TyC Sports.

All this happens, moreover, 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, with the names of the members of the club's delegation who will attend the match. "I did not sign that document or any other since I submitted my resignation. It's a complex situation, first because it constitutes a crime; but, on the other hand, this indicates that I don't know what they are signing or what Marcelo Moretti is using my signature for," he said.

Thus, Tuesday the 16th seems to be the day that will define the future of San Lorenzo, a club that, while going through tumultuous institutional days, incredibly continues to be involved in the fight for the leadership of Zone B of the Clausura Tournament. Against Racing, it will have a tough stop this Friday, but next week it will have another one, in the Official Box of Pedro Bidegain, from 15, behind closed doors.
