The days go by and calm has settled in the City of Football. You know, what was questioned weeks ago is no longer the case. The proximity of November 25, the day on which the Federation Assembly will be defined, which is the one that December 16 will decide the name of the next president of Spanish football. And in this sense, and without him having made any movement, the name of Alvaro de Miguel prices up.
In thirteen days, each group that shapes football will know the name of its representatives and, on paper, it will be possible to know the name of the person who will become president a few days later. sit in the presidential chair, just as has happened in previous elections.
141 assembly members
Those who aspire to be candidates for the presidency, in addition to being Spanish and not having any sports sanction or judicial disqualification, must have fifteen percent of the endorsements of the 141 assembly members who are elected, Of course, on this occasion, the same assembly member cannot endorse two or three candidates, as was the case before. On December 2 it will be known if there are one or more candidates.
Pedro Rocha is still waiting to receive the precautionary measure or not regarding the sanction imposed by the TAD for allegedly exceeding his duties. Their fight is, mainly, for clear your name. From that moment on, he will decide whether or not to take the step of running for office.
Pending the precautionary measure requested by Rocha
If so, he will be the territorial candidate. Given the delay in the precautionary decision, what some territorial presidents do is look for a consensus candidate who avoids the dispersion of votes. Many of them point to Álvaro de Miguel, current secretary general, as the ideal candidate, who so far has not lifted a finger in that direction while waiting for Pedro Rocha. Total and absolute respect.
It is thought that some territorial president could take the step and break the sought-after unity. They believe that with De Miguel, with a good poster in UEFA and FIFA and remains of football and sports establishments, the long-awaited peace and stability of Spanish football could be achieved.
Now it is valid and before it was challenged
Since FIFA and UEFA leaders appeared in Madrid, more specifically by the Higher Sports Council, everything has changed. Now, the decisions made by the general secretary and the legal advice do not displease anyone and the process (the same one that was challenged and rejected) is now valid. For the moment, only Juanma Morales has confirmed that he is running (tomorrow he will unveil his project), something that Carlos Herrera has not officially done for the moment, nor has Eva Parera, aspiring candidates last May.
