Mauricio Macri approaches Boca: he appeared in the video of one of the candidates who will face Riquelme in the elections

After announcing that he will not run for president, Mauricio Macri approaches Boca Juniors politics. This time the wink was done with the appearance in a video with one of the candidates who will face Juan Román Riquelme in club elections.

The day when The Xeneize club celebrates 118 yearsthe former president of Cambiemos was shown in a video of the candidate Andrés Ibarra, former minister of management of Cambiemos.

After the former president’s departure, speculation began to grow about his return to the club which he led between 1996 and 2008, the club’s most successful period in terms of football successes (16 titles).

Now you can see it lit a short video in which he is about to blow out a birthday candle on a blue and yellow colored cake, and which ends with the slogan “Passion plus management. Andrés Ibarra president 2023”.

It now remains to be confirmed whether Macri will occupy a position on the opposition list that will face the leadership led by Jorge Amor Ameal and Riquelme.

Ibarra served as general manager during Macri’s tenure at the club and also He was Minister of Modernization and Deputy Chief of Cabinet. Additionally, he was responsible for marketing management in Daniel Angelici’s former management at Xeneize.

In November, Macri was present at the “Gatto Storico”, an event which commemorated the golden age of the club of La Ribera, which had the former head of state as the highest authority and where Ibarra made his intentions to rise to power official.

Some of the players who marked the glorious ‘Bianchi era’ were present at that meeting. Among these Sebastián Battaglia, Rolando Schiavi, Roberto Abbondanzieri and Diego Cagna. In addition, the messages that Rodolfo Arruabarrena and Guillermo Barros Schelotto sent from abroad were projected.

Also present were the head of the cabinet of Buenos Aires, Felipe Miguel, the first vice president of the Council of the Judiciary of the city of Buenos Aires, Francisco Quintana, and members of the famous “Mundo Boca”, including the former president of the Angelic Circle.

A few days ago, after announcing that he will not run for president, Macri released a series of interviews in which he talked about Boca and He showed his anger with Riquelme.

“Don’t have [la fantasía de volver] But I am very angry with everything that is happening now because it’s the opposite of what I say: no to personalities. Boca has turned into a personalism of someone that I brought to the club twice,” he said about the Xeneize vice president.

“I recognize everything that must be recognized as a player because he was incredible. Now, this arrogant, arbitrary, authoritarian way of leading is useless,” added Macri, speaking of the club’s strongman.

In the world of football, the former president also occupies an institutional role: he is head of the FIFA Foundation. In the last few hours, Carlos Bianco too – from Axel Kicillof’s kidney – has crossed over saying that for him it is “more important to be president of Fifa than of the nation”. Macri has denied looking for the seat that Gianni Infantino occupies today – and at least until 2027.
