Moretti Ends Leave, Moves to Retake San Lorenzo Presidency as Board Splinters

His return tests a fractured board under judicial scrutiny, with a bankruptcy bid pending alongside planned fan protests.

Overview

  • Marcelo Moretti notified the club by email that he is ending his license and called a Comisión Directiva meeting for Monday, August 25 to formalize his return.
  • One day after the notice, he appeared at training, spoke with coach Damián Ayude and sporting director Carlos Sánchez, and left without public statements.
  • First vice president Julio Lopardo resigned from that post and said he will remain as a vocal, while officialist directors issued a statement repudiating Moretti’s comeback.
  • Opposition groups set a march for Friday evening at the Avenida La Plata headquarters as some directors weigh resignations; 16 departures would trigger a transitional commission and early elections.
  • Alejandro Rojas, who filmed the hidden-camera video, said he was hired and paid to do it and his statement entered the judicial file, as the club also faces a bankruptcy petition from Swiss fund AIS Group.
