You formed players and people,” he told the “Doll.”
Without talking much about the management he heads with Matías Patanian and Ignacio Villarroel, 1st and 2nd vice presidents, respectively, he spoke about the Monumental and its future. “We have a debt with the partner in the infrastructure of the stadium and we are going for more,” the president concluded. D’Onofrio, for his part, dedicated a few words to whoever was the vice president in his management: “Brito showed me in these years, a lot of place to want to be the one, but accompanying me, respecting his function,” said the now former president of the club, who says goodbye as champion of the Professional Football League.
