San Lorenzo shake-up: AFA backs interim committee, no officials included | OneFootball

San Lorenzo’s institutional crisis has entered a decisive phase. In recent days, club officials have 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 petition, and without the presence of Marcelo Moretti.

The structure presented to Tapia has Sergio Constantino as its central figure—currently an 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 major officialist leaders will remain, marking a deep political break within the club.

Next week could be the key moment. According to reports, Tapia will push for a Board of Directors meeting, where mass resignations are expected. This move would result in a formal leadership vacuum and pave the way for the creation of the transitional committee that will steer the Boedo club for a yet-to-be-determined period. The duration of this transition will be set by the AFA, which will establish the timeline.

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 petition. 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 has also received clarity about its 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 with an eye on 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.
