  • Marcelo Culotta, a candidate for president of San Lorenzo, has outlined his campaign proposals focusing on economic-financial stability, infrastructure, and talent management.
  • Culotta, with two decades of experience at the club, aims to address the financial viability of having 63 professionals and seeks to reclaim the club's presence at Avenida La Plata.
  • His platform emphasizes auditing club finances, securing essential land for redevelopment, and developing a construction plan for a new stadium, prioritizing transparency and efficiency.

As a candidate for San Lorenzo's presidency, Marcelo Culotta is presenting a clear vision for the club's future, emphasizing fiscal responsibility and the crucial return to Avenida La Plata. With a deep history within the club, including his involvement in the 'Vuelta a Boedo' movement, Culotta understands the sentimental and practical importance of reclaiming the club's original home.

We have a line of conduct and axes to respect: the economic-financial, infrastructure and talents, and here I am not only talking about athletes/footballers, but also employees and members. Furthermore, we are meeting with several fan clubs and we are focused on what needs to be done if we are to govern.

Culotta's campaign centers on a pragmatic approach, addressing the club's current financial strain, particularly the unsustainable number of professional staff. He highlights the need for rigorous auditing of finances and transparency regarding funds, such as those generated by parking at the current stadium. The plan to redevelop the Avenida La Plata site involves securing the necessary land and establishing a dedicated construction team to oversee the project, moving forward with concrete plans rather than mere promises.

The best return will be when the club and the stadium are on Avenida La Plata. For that to happen, other things must happen: we must obtain the 8,000 square meters essential for the entire work, we must audit the documentation regarding the deed of the property, as there is a mortgage on 512 parking spaces; San Lorenzo has an obligation to carry them out, on the construction value they have.

The emphasis on auditing and a clear, step-by-step plan for the Avenida La Plata project aims to restore confidence and build a sustainable future for the club, a perspective that resonates deeply with the passionate San Lorenzo fanbase.

I am not usually one to say 'anti-return' or 'low-boedoist' but I am going for every square meter of the club, wherever it may be.
