Hours after the White smoking surprised the world from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel announcing XIV lionthe new Pope, there was Barca smoke From the official box of the New Gasometer y Julio Lopardowho knew how to be vice president of Fernando Miele In the 1990s, it was like the new mandamás of San Lorenzo While the president’s license lasts Marcelo Morettidenounced for receiving an alleged coima of 25 thousand dollars to sign a youth to the lower ones.
In his first statements, Lopardo was hard with Moretti and demanded his resignation: “My time here will be until the next elections, although some believe that it is not.
And he added to the exit of the conclave: “I am very sorry what is being lived in the club. It was 15 tremendous days. I entered as a seventh member and ended up in this position. The situation is very difficult, but I will face it. We will try to change the club to see if we are a little more normal.”
The question, as in the Vatican, was not at all simple. Before sitting to vote there was a lot of political thread from all sectors of the leadership, including the AFA. It is that the opposition sectors were convinced in not giving quorum for the Board of Directors meeting.
Discussions and accusations began to fly from one side and the other. Among those who did not want to sit at the table was Néstor OrtigozaVocal faced Moretti since last year. But the Former player would have changed his position from a minute to another after the phone sounded with a call from Ezeiza?
The concrete is that two hours later the meeting. Although the opposition requested the dismissal of Moretti, the vote was the approval of the license by the official sector. The time of it is indefinite and Moretti could return when I arrange it, although it will expect what justice defines.
Then the resignations of vice president Néstor Navarro, of the Subintendent were tested Pablo Levalle and of the Secretary of Acts Daniela Méndez Right.
Only after the designation of Lopardo was made. To do this, they had to give up their positions (not to the CD) all members since the statute marks that who must assume is the second vice, Andrés Terzano. Before the massive resignation of charges, a new 1st vice, Lopardo, who later defined the rest of the structure, with Terzano maintaining the second vice presidency must be designated.
The last firm of Moretti in his position was to turn the money for the payment of the debt of the month of February of the campus, which could be made thanks to an advance of the television law.
He is 77 years old and is an experienced leader of the Footbol. But Julio Lopardo did not always have the ball as his only passion. Before immersing yourself in the political life of San Lorenzo, He knew how to be a romantic singer under the artistic name of Julio Sandiego in the ’80s. He took records and even participated in the prestigious Viña del Mar Festival in Chile.
But not only the microphone was his thing for those years. He also knew him with the nickname “The chicken” since he owned the poultry company “Useful”.
In the 90s he accompanied Miele’s management in the Cyclone. He was vice president between 1995-1998 and a member of the football Council between 1999 and 2001. In the last period he already had differences with the manager who built the new gasometer. After Miele lost to Alberto Guil in the elections of December 2001, Lopardo never stopped being a political actor in Boedo.
In 2004 he was a candidate for president with Malle’s support, but he was last among five groups. Those elections were won by Rafael Savino, reelected in 2007. Lopardo reappeared at the polls of 2010, accompanying Roberto Edibut last six lists were. Carlos Abdo It was imposed in that year.
Finally Lopardo could return to the club in 2023 by Marcelo Moretti, as a vowel. He briefly occupied the command of the department of football after Moretti ran it to Ortigoza from that place. But Lopardo criticized the AFA for not giving him a vice presidency in the Executive Committee and the president also decided to run him 40 days after assigning him.
Limad differences with Chiqui Tapia, now Lopardo grabbed the hot cyclone handle. “We were talking to Tapia and I was very worried about the situation. From today I will work hand in hand with the AFA.”he concluded.
