Marcelo Culotta has been elected the new president of the San Lorenzo football club, with his term set to run until December 2027. Culotta secured a decisive victory, garnering 4,110 votes, and expressed his emotions in the press room following the announcement.

Culotta has a long history with the club, having previously run for vice-president in several elections and served as an opposition board member from 2012 to 2019. In 2021, he founded his own political group within the club, "Orden y Progreso" (Order and Progress), which achieved its strongest result in the 2023 elections, placing second.

As he prepares to officially take office, expected around June 4, Culotta will immediately focus on appointing his executive team, which includes 13 new board members. He faces pressing decisions across the club's institutional, economic, and sporting departments.

Key sporting decisions include the future of the professional football manager. While Culotta has expressed a preference for Guillermo Franco, a former player, the status of the current manager, Gustavo Álvarez, remains to be confirmed, despite expectations of his continuation. The club also faces potential player sales, with Alexis Cuello, Jhohan Romaña, and Orlando Gill being considered for transfer.
