In the sense of victory for Marcelo Tinelli, Justice on Wednesday ordered the Argentine Soccer Association that call an election within 90 days for the appointment of the new board of directors of the Professional Football League.

Chamber B of the Civil Chamber ordered the AFA president, Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia, to call within 90 days and informed him that, during that time, he would be responsible for coordinating the normal functioning of the League.

The judges declared that “having proved that there is a sufficient degree of provisionalness the lack of procedure for the implementation of electoral law, and to allow the normal development of the entity in question” Tapia was ordered within 90 days “being responsible up to that date for coordinating the total operation”of the League.

Tinelli, the outgoing president of the League, He went to court to ask for the repeal of the electoral process.

Last month, he sent a series of letters to all First Division clubs, the AFA, the League and the electoral commission in which he reported that he had made the decision to challenge the list presented by Cristian Malaspina who replaced him in office by denunciation. regulatory irregularities.

The list is led by the president of Argentinos Juniors he was the only one who showed up for the election and had the endorsement of Chiqui Tapia, National Government sectors and support of 20 of the 28 LPF clubs, so it is assumed that Malaspina will occupy the place led by Tinelli in the leader of the League since the foundation, in May 2020 .

However, Tinelli explained in his letters what were the reasons why he decided to kick the board of a conflict in which the AFA, the League, the clubs and the Government were putting their chips.

Through a lengthy statement, the television host reiterated that his departure from the AFA-dependent entity was related to a “cunning” blow to the institution “not only to me but to the LPF authorities.”

“As part of that impeachment attempt, an electoral process began plagued by all sorts of irregularities and anomalies,” Tinelli added, giving as an example that “the Assembly was never called” to review his work on the head of the LPF.

Then, he pointed out that the list presented for renewal by the authorities “does not meet the minimum requirements established by current regulations.”

One of them, according to Tinelli, has to do with the appointment of the person who will be secretary, Hernán Arboleya, who is “alternate leader in his club”, something that is against the legal parameters of the League.

Tinelli’s observation seeks to suggest that the replacement member of Lanús, as in the case of Arboleya, would sit down to speak about every issue related to the LPF at the same table and with the same voice as the presidents of Boca or River, in order to name a few. of the most powerful teams in Argentine soccer.

He also warned that no candidate “showed support and necessary documentation” in closing the lists. And he demanded that the elections referring to his successor be “correct, respecting statutory measures and taking care of the institutional framework.”

“Take me down Tinelli”

In a chat with ClarionLast month, Malaspina said against Tinelli: “Here Tinelli’s ego and personal ambition take precedence over Argentine football.”

“I am disappointed,” Malaspina launched about the San Lorenzo leader who “requested a challenge of the process because its meeting was not good and questioned the nomination of a leader (Hernán Arboleya) adopted by the Lanús club in December to be vice president. president of Tinelli “.

On the list, Malaspina joins Héctor Maldonado (Independent), José Alonso (Colón de Santa Fe) and David Garzón (Hurricane), among the three vice presidents. In turn, Hernán Arboleya (Lanús) will be the secretary and Edgardo Zin, from the Unión de Santa Fe, pro-secretary.
