Moretti Moves to Reclaim San Lorenzo Presidency as Fans Rally and Board Fractures

His attempt faces a procedural hurdle because ending his leave must be approved by the Comisión Directiva before he can exercise authority.

Elocuente bandera en la manifestación en Boedo: Marcelo Moretti guarda dinero en un bolsillo, la situación revelada por la cámara oculta en abril.
La sede de avenida La Plata fue epicentro de la protesta, con hinchas que reclamaron cambios urgentes en la dirigencia azulgrana.

Overview

  • Marcelo Moretti notified the club by email that he is ending his leave and called a Comisión Directiva meeting for Monday to formalize his return.
  • Hundreds of supporters gathered at the Avenida La Plata headquarters with banners referencing the hidden‑camera video and demanded elections, prompting closures and a heavy police presence.
  • Interim vice president Julio Lopardo resigned his vice-presidential role and official Javier Allievi also stepped down, signaling deepening splits on the board.
  • Club figures, including asambleísta Ulises Morales, say an administrative vote is required for reinstatement, so Moretti remains on leave until the commission approves.
  • Moretti acknowledged managing football decisions during his absence, defended the US$25,000 as a personal donation, and noted the AFA Ethics Committee reported no culpability and restored him to its Executive Council.
