Mauricio Macri has confirmed that he will run for Boca Juniors next election

Maurizio Macri has confirmed that it will integrate the opposition list led by its heir, Andrés Ibarra, in the next elections to be held in Mouth Juniors, in December. The intention of the former President of the Nation is to recover the club that catapulted him to the head of the government of Buenos Aires for two periods in order to then be able to sit in Rivadavia’s chair between 2015 and 2019. For this reason, his candidate must defeat the list it will lead to Jorge Amor Ameal and Juan Roman Riquelme looking to revalidate his cycle at the head of the institution.

“I will accompany the board of directors, yes. Where they put me I will be. I think it’s a moment where you have to put your back on it because we are very hurt. We are very sad about this gift from Boca. Not so much for the sport, but for what generates and surrounds an institution that has taken me a long time and to fight with many people with whom I have since made friends, such as Mono Navarro Montoya, Fernando Gamboa and Colo Mac Allister, with whom we have more late finished our policy to do. I had to get them out of the club as they thought they were above Boca, with Heller at the club giving them some weird ideas and then we started building Boca, like River, Independiente, which are institutions that existed before us and will continue after us and we must respect them”, Macri said at the Ibarra launch gala last night.

In assessing the current management, Macri pointed against “authoritarianism and personalism”. “There is a lack of work and harmony between the players, the technical staff, the club employees. All this is seen and heard more and more every Sunday. I think it’s a wrong view and it hurts me as a Boca fan. I have always worked for Boca to be above everything and I have changed the statute so that no one feels like the owner of the club. You have to be competitive again and bring players out of the lower ranks and instill the mystique of the club in them,” he continued.

The scarf wasn’t from Manchester City, it was from Argentina. The president invited me, who is a friend, and invited me to accompany him. I told Florentino Pérez (the boss of Real Madrid) before starting the match that I was going in favor of City because last year they had won a Champions League which seemed to come from Hollywood the way the matches have changed. They looked like Boca, not Real Madrid,” he said of the celebrations where he was seen with Pep Guardiola.

“I’ll confess something to you. When Guardiola was at Barcelona B when Coco Basile left us, I received a phone call saying that Guardiola would like to think about Boca, that there was a mutual friend, he had never managed in the First Division… That is to say that everyone likes Boca, especially if it conveys seriousness. If there was something I didn’t have to worry about, it was finding a coach because everyone jumped on me and wanted to come.”

“I dream that Martín Palermo, or Carlitos Tevez, who has now taken over as director, will come to Boca. You have to give everyone the opportunity because they have an edge. Give them respect and a solid institution to work for, as I have in my 12 years of management. I never told the techs how to stop their teams. I have never asked any coach to resign, apart from the incident we had at the time with Chino Benítez, ”he recalled.

“I want to ask the Boca fans that we have to go back to dreaming big, but first there must be an institution with seriousness and professionalism. Personalism does not lead and they have made us lose our role as a leading and modern institution,” she said.
