Stéfano Di Carlo confirmed his candidacy for River president and targeted Milito
The general secretary of the Núñez club announced his participation in the end-of-year elections. Meanwhile, he criticized the head of Academia for the Salas case
In his interview on the Love/ST show, Stéfano Di Carlo, general secretary of River, publicly confirmed that he will be the official candidate in the club's year-end elections. During his conversation, he emphasized the importance of continuing the management approach that began with Rodolfo D’Onofrio and continued with Jorge Brito.

"Today it's the last of my priorities because of everything we're going through, but I can tell you that I'm a candidate. It requires further development and maturity to shape the continuity of the project," Di Carlo explained, adding: "It's an immense responsibility to sustain and deepen many aspects that will increasingly set River apart from the rest."
Several days ago, Brito himself had identified Di Carlo as the natural successor for the official sector: "He meets the necessary conditions to carry the project forward," he stated in an interview with Cenital.
With his candidacy now confirmed, Di Carlo is emerging as the figure who will seek to continue an officialist cycle that began in 2013 and led River to regain institutional and sporting prominence.
Exchange with Diego Milito over Salas's transfer
In the same interview, Di Carlo addressed Diego Milito's statements, who said he felt "disappointed" by how River executed the release clause to sign Maximiliano Salas, a forward who was key for Racing.

"Racing's main frustration should be not having been able to renew Salas's contract, not that River executed the clause," Di Carlo pointed out. "River made a formal offer first, something that was omitted in the entire narrative. The things Milito said are out of touch with reality."
He also explained that they always tried to reach an agreement before resorting to the clause: "We never said we wouldn't execute it. What we always made clear is that we'd do everything possible to reach an understanding. Milito refused to talk. Once those possibilities were exhausted, what remains are the contracts and the paperwork."
