Central Córdoba President and Vice President Resign for 'Personal Reasons'

La Nación reports on a significant leadership shake-up at Central Córdoba, with both President José Alfano and Vice President Víctor Paz Trotta stepping down. The resignations, attributed to "personal reasons," come at a critical juncture for the Santiago del Estero-based club, which is currently navigating a difficult period in the league standings and facing the specter of relegation.

Alfano's tenure, which began in 2018, saw the club achieve promotion to the top flight and secure notable victories, including winning the Copa Argentina in 2024 and even defeating Flamengo in the 2025 Copa Libertadores. However, the team's current 12th-place standing in the Torneo Apertura with only 13 points paints a starkly different picture, overshadowing past successes and intensifying pressure on the club's leadership.
