Saint Lawrence is driving. So it continues, with chapters stitched together into a series that seems to combine the dramatic with the embarrassing. Therefore, it was expected that this Tuesday the club would face the resignation of its president at the end of the day. Marcelo Morettior in acephaly. The night surprises them as they work on a draft to explain itwithin the chaotic profile that accompanies the hours of a club that has turned to the AFA so that its players receive their salaries and declares a strike in the middle of the definition of the final tournament. He is bleeding to death amid a complex scenario in which Moretti and a handful of leaders do not want to step down. In any case, the high number of resignations was enough to prompt the Assembly to intervene.
The man who was in the spotlight from day one He was exposed by a hidden camera that showed him putting a wad of dollars in the inside pocket of his jacket.. Nothing was forgotten. On the contrary, his return after a few months of vacation caused even more excitement. Thus, as the afternoon and evening progressed while the officials met, the number of Ciclón fans grew more and more frequent in step with the rumors that arose from the bowels of the stadium.
During these hours, Moretti left the meeting in which the situation was discussed and suggestions were exchanged. Then he returned to a hard conclave. The tension rose. Inside and outside. With insults, fans demanded his absolute resignation in the middle of the street, with the president being the main target of the insults. “Everyone steps back“, was heard. It was almost an anthem. If the acephaly is carried out properly, which was once done poorly, an interim government must be approved until the call for elections is set.
“A license is not possible” And “I won’t give up“Hours earlier, some of Moretti’s key sentences after his departure from the public prosecutor’s office had been an indication of his continuity at the top of the Ciclón leadership. Almost a preview of what was to come in the evening.”Acephaly is not recommended in these cases. “You have to be very careful and very calm and agree with certain parts of the opposition and also the ruling party,” he had warned that afternoon of the microphones that crossed his path as he walked quickly from the door of the office where he appeared to the van that was waiting for him in a double row. His attitude was inflexible.
Strictly speaking, Up to nine members of the governing body went before prosecutors to testify over a complaint about leaving the club. However, what should have been a day to discuss the restructuring resulted in another scandal, a break in the morning and a continuity in the afternoon that once again exposed the conflicts and positions.
“We are pleased about the support of AFA, Chiqui (Tapia) and (Pablo) Toviggino “It is important to have the political maturity to understand the situation and that we can present a report from the board so that San Lorenzo continues on its natural course and steers in a different direction many problems that have been stopped,” Moretti had emphasized in this context. As before, he brought the president and secretary of the parent organization of Argentine football into the ring, who supported him with actions.
He had come from the club to Public Ministry while a handful of fans in the area were complaining. It was early. This almost led to a tragedy. One of the fans, who was on a bicycle and followed alongside the vehicle for a few blocks, described having an incident after angrily banging on the truck’s window and mirror and reprimanding Moretti, who was a passenger. “He was reversing when he was at the traffic lights and As he turned right, he put the front wheel on me and stepped on the tips of my left toes.said TyC Sports, who introduced himself as Lucas and gave his statement to a police officer who arrived minutes later.
Between this event and the afternoon meeting, some executives expressed their anger and conflict via social media. “The coward Marcelo Moretti left the stadium box without addressing the problems and asked for a break until 5 p.m. This idiot tried to give an unimaginable monologue, which we interrupted and he left“, he wrote on his X account Marcelo CulottaGroup leader Sanlorencista order and progress.
“The board meeting has begun, I have submitted my resignation as a member, which was formally submitted by the opposition“, beyond Moretti’s attempt to reorganize a completely exhausted government,” the same leader later added, always in the same way. The institutional situation, the bankruptcy petition requested by the AIS Investment Fund, the licenses requested by the Secretary Martín Cigna and the Treasurer Carina Farías, as well as the 2023/2024 balance were the points discussed at the meeting.
“Space for a new institutional embarrassment in San Lorenzo. Guys, Everyone steps down once and for all to stop spreading nonsense. Without acephaly there is no way out! “Everyone shares responsibility!!!,” he emphasized for his part. Caesar Francisformer presidential candidate, almost at the same time. Then he added angrily: “Resign, if only for self-love. I no longer ask for love for the club, as Moretti made you laugh today with the summons at 11 o’clock.”
What will happen at the leadership level in 2026 is unknown. And all these doubts are transferred to the different areas of the club. There are concerns in professional football as there is not even a confirmed venue for the pre-season. In addition, doubts also affect the coaching staff, who do not yet know whether they can count on some reinforcements. To make matters worse, there is currently not even a secretary to sign sales, purchases or contract terminations.
It should be recalled that last week Moretti was present at the draw for the Professional Football League and the Argentine Cup at the AFA ground in Ezeiza, trying to convey a normality that does not exist. This Tuesday is another example of that. About a debacle that never ends.
