Louzán represents the unity of soccer with Tebas as vp of the RFEF | Soccer | Sports | EUROtoday

As the brand new president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Rafael Louzán staged the unity of Spanish soccer this Thursday with the appointment of its first board of administrators. It consists of as vice presidents Javier Tebas, president of LaLiga; Beatriz Álvarez, president of LaLiga F, and David Aganzo, president, of the footballers’ union (AFE). The triptych of those vice presidencies is yet another step within the reestablishment of the relations of the RFEF with three teams with which it waged a complete struggle below the presidency of Luis Rubiales.

The first to method positions with LaLiga was the disqualified Pedro Rocha, although Tebas went as far as to say that he was not the very best candidate to preside over the RFEF and whom he even described as a “vase”. Now it has been Louzán, whom Rocha selected as his successor, who has prolonged the bridges with these federative vice presidencies for employers’ paths and the bulk union. Tebas would be the sole consultant of the golf equipment on the RFEF board, leaving out Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Athletic or Atlético de Madrid. This will not be the primary time {that a} LaLiga president has held a federation vice presidency. Villar already did it with Pedro Tomás and José Luis Astiazarán, though it was extra out of institutional courtesy than due to the load that they had. Tebas, by historical past, might be extra lively, though it shares a board with territorial presidents akin to Jacinto Alonso (Rioja), José Miguel Monje Carrillo (Murcia) or Joan Soteras (Catalonia), all a part of the onerous core of the Federation that he baptized as “the house of horrors.” The absence of Medina Cantalejo, president of the Technical Referee Committee, is placing within the new RFEF board. It stays to be seen if this determination corresponds to the truth that Louzán wanted to get rid of two former managers, to achieve 50% equality between women and men, or is it step one in direction of the outsourcing of Premier League-style refereeing.

After all of the scandals which have shaken the Federation lately, each Tebas, Beatriz Álvarez and David Aganzo have accepted the place on the federation board figuring out that Louzán is ready for the Supreme Court to handle it on February 5 his attraction towards the sentence of seven years of disqualification from holding public workplace for violating the subsidy for the reworking of a soccer subject in Moraña. The occasions occurred when Louzán presided over the Pontevedra Provincial Council for the PP.

The conviction not represented any obstacle for 90 meeting members to elect the Galician baron as their new president on December 16. Everyone, with their votes, public help or being a part of its board, assumes the danger that the federative establishment and Spanish soccer would be the protagonist of one other worldwide embarrassment if the Supreme Court ratifies Louzán’s conviction. He can be on alert for a attainable intervention by the Higher Sports Council (CSD) to attempt to disqualify him. Sources from the group chaired by José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes said categorically a month in the past that they’d file a criticism with the Sports Administrative Court (TAD) if Louzán acceded to the seat of Spanish soccer for non-compliance with the federative statutes of their articles 19.4 and 24.

The first of them establishes as a situation for holding positions within the Federation “not being disqualified from holding public positions.” Article 24 has to do with the cessation of positions for any particular person affected by the restrictions of 19. Louzán defends that his sentence will not be but last, though the federal statutory rules don’t require it. The Galician chief additionally alleges that the ministerial order that regulates elections in sports activities federations, promoted by Rodríguez Uribes himself when he was Minister of Culture and Sports, is increased in rank than the federative statutes and does set up that the sentence is last.

The battle between the CSD and Louzán is at present gained by the latter, who has made a few strategic appointments in case the CSD now disqualifies him or the Supreme Court doesn’t exonerate him. The Galician lawyer Beatriz Seijo, who participated in a authorized report distributed among the many territorial barons associated to Louzán and wherein it’s endorsed to vary the federative statutes, exactly within the articles that play towards the brand new president, has been included within the board of administrators. . This newspaper requested Louzán and the RFEF yesterday if the appointment of Beatriz Seijo has something to do with the intention of adjusting the statutory rules, however didn’t obtain a response.

The different appointment is that of Sergio Merchán from Extremadura as first vp. To this one, Rocha’s dolphin, Louzán gave 25 endorsements in order that he may run within the elections in case the CSD denounced him on account of ineligibility. The CSD’s authorized providers studied it, however doubted whether or not the group had legitimacy. Once Louzán was elected, the Minister of Education, Vocational Training and Sports, Pilar Alegría, cautiously introduced that the CSD would “study the steps to take when the established 48 hours” for difficult the electoral outcomes had been accomplished. Eight days after the aforementioned deadline expired and regardless of the cruel public reluctance that each the minister and the Secretary of State have made towards Louzán’s presidency, the CSD nonetheless has not made a transfer. Government sources guarantee that the company’s authorized providers proceed to investigate experiences.

Both Alegría and Rodríguez Uribes have already seen how the Commission for Normalization and Representation of the RFEF, introduced with nice fanfare by each and chaired by Vicente del Bosque, failed within the Euro Cup when Rocha was the one who sat within the noble seats of German stadiums. The hackneyed phrase of the federative liars that claims that “football is governed by football” is imposed once more below Louzán’s presidency.
