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 signature forgery scandal, the General Secretariat has called for a Board of Directors meeting where the club's future 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 still needs approval—sent out the call and agenda for the meeting. The first item to be discussed is the "request to lift the license granted to Marcelo Moretti," while the second item is the "handling of resignations." Thus, in just two lines, the future of San Lorenzo is being debated.

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

However, if Moretti manages to resist and succeed in lifting his license, then the second point would see mass resignations leading to the club's headlessness. The outcome would be the same, with a call for early elections, although in a more combative context regarding the president's stance.

The reality is that many directors have submitted their resignations, but they have not yet been approved by the Board of Directors. One of them is Julio Lopardo, the vice president who took on the role of president during Moretti's license. "From my interpretation, and that of most 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 is happening in the context of Cigna's accusation against Moretti for allegedly forging his signature on a sworn statement submitted to Aprevide, prior to the match against Racing, with the names of the club's delegation members attending the event. "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, it indicates that I don't know what they are signing or for what purpose Marcelo Moretti is using my signature," he stated.

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, is incredibly still in the fight for the leadership of Zone B of the Torneo Clausura. Against Racing, they have a tough challenge this Friday, but next week they will have another one, in the Official Box of the Pedro Bidegain, from 3 PM, behind closed doors.
