Marcelo Tinelli He resigned this Saturday from the presidency of San Lorenzo. The driver and businessman announced his decision in an extensive letter that he disseminated through his social networks. This Saturday the license he applied for amid the institutional and football crisis the Boedo club is going through. “Sorry I can’t last long”wrote and sent a message to the fans.
It’s been an open secret for a few days. But now it’s official. At the beginning of 2022, Tinelli has already submitted his resignation to the leadership of the Professional League, which now has Claudio Tapia as controller. And now, what will the Boedo club’s leadership structure look like in this scenario?
This sense of the entrepreneur did not cause any surprise in the Storm corridors. The leadership is already expecting a similar resolution from Tinelli, who in December 2019 was chosen to succeed Matthias Lammens with more than 80 percent of the vote in favor. The announcement is missing, which came this Saturday.
Hours after learning the news, San Lorenzo gave up his official position on the Showmatch driver’s departure. “Due to the resignation of President Marcelo Tinelli, the leaders will meet in the next few hours and tomorrow the steps to be followed will be informed,” they limited themselves to the announcement from the Boedo club. We will wait until Sunday.
Rumors about the specific separation began to spread in the middle of this week. But the television host himself manages to deactivate the noise, warning via Twitter that in the coming days I will make the best decision for the institution of Barça. In this way, he indicated that he had not yet determined anything.
The deadline is this Saturday because on Sunday, May 1, he will have to continue his position as president in case he does not announce or, if he chooses to continue leading San Lorenzo. But, of course, that won’t happen.
An adventure that didn’t end well
Marcelo Tinelli a few days after taking the presidency, in an interview with Clarín.
MT’s passing as head of the club of which he is a fan is unsatisfactory on the overall balance and in the face of the insults received and the persistence of his family, he chose not to return. He took over in January 2020. His first choice was Mariano Soso to manage the first team. Immediately, the pandemic was set and it deepened all the evil that the blue and red creatures were already pulling.
Ang economic gap It began in the second phase of the Lammens government, as a result of very high investment in the professional team. High and many contracts, reinforcements not delivered, expensive trainers not measured. An explosive cocktail.

The quarantine led to the outbreak of the crisis. The rebound checks accumulated in volume as well as claims for debts, many resolved; others still remain. After Soso, Tinelli chose Diego Dabove, the DT to take on at that time. But he also couldn’t force his style and he wasn’t noticed by Boedo.
Without technicians and throughout the crisis, Tinelli announced his one -year license in May 2021 arguing labor issues (he started his program in El Trece) and personal issues. It was not well received by the members and fans who trusted him to lead the club.
At that point, the public was already expressing itself through songs against him and against Lammens in every game the home team played. Before he left, Horacio Arreceygor remained as acting presidentwith the support of Lammens (club deputy and Minister of Tourism and Sports of the Nation), who has to return to Barca everyday life.

Both stick to the savings plan to reduce the budget. They chose Mauro Cetto as the new manager after the departure of the Technical Secretariat (composed of Leandro Romagnoli, Alberto Acosta and Hugo Tocalli), which in turn decided to take on Paolo Montero as coach.
Uruguayan also failed. The same thing happened to Pedro Troglio. Cetto submitted his resignation. In between, the team’s poor results began to worry the crow world more and more because the average for next season would be low. Protests increased, the opposition mobilized and the climate was disturbed.
The new scene that opens
The current directors are awaiting a decision from Tinelli to see the next steps to be taken. And now that? It will be necessary to see what the rebound of the MT specific farewell is and whether it generates more internal movements. or everything remains the same until now: with Arreceygor in visible control and Lammens handling the day-to-day threads.
From opposition groups they continue to call for early elections and now that request will have greater force. There is a new call for Thursday, May 12 at Av. La Plata, the day the Assembly will be held to approve the 2020-2021 balance.
The leadership, for now, will try to close Mario Husillos for the position of manager and then he had to identify the coach for the second semester. Looks like candidates Alexander Medina, Julio Falcioni and Mauricio Pellegrino.
