Overview
- Di Carlo was sworn in at the Monumental after winning 61.77% (15,960 votes) in a record-turnout election, becoming the club’s youngest modern president.
- He appointed Andrés Ballotta, Ignacio Villarroel and Mariano Taratuty as first, second and third vice presidents in the new executive lineup.
- In his first address he said the team’s current form is “not good” and “not representative,” urging calm and naming a return to winning results as the absolute priority.
- AFA president Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia attended the ceremony, signaling institutional support as River faces fan ire after the home loss to Gimnasia and an upcoming Superclásico at La Bombonera.
- The leadership will evaluate the squad before deciding on Marcelo Gallardo’s contract, which expires in December, with no formal decision yet, and it outlined plans including a Monumental roof and broader global brand efforts.
