Julio Lopardo will finally be the one to assume as the new president of San Lorenzo, following the temporary departure due to Marcelo Moretti's leave from the top position in the blaugrana institution.
El Ciclón is going through one of the most delicate stages of its recent institutional history. The accusations against the businessman for alleged bribery cases have caused an internal earthquake that led to the mobilization of fans and a strong outcry in the stands of the Nuevo Gasómetro last Saturday.
In this context, and despite the lack of an official announcement, the current club board member will be the one to replace Moretti. This is because Néstor Navarro, who was going to replace the president, resigned from his position as first vice president.
Although Lopardo has the support of the official sector, the same is not reflected in the opposition, so his appointment could generate resistance in the short term. It remains to be seen how this transition will be politically solved within the board of directors.
The meeting in which Lopardo's appointment will be formalized and Moretti's leave and Navarro's resignation will be noted still has no set date, although it is expected to take place during the course of the week. Once held, the direction the club will take will be formally announced.
