The year does not seem to have started well at Universidad de Chile. The whirlwind to get the long-awaited central midfielder was added to the injury of Luis Casanova, which forced the sports director, Luis Roggiero, to go out in search of a backup defender.
The names of Matías Rodríguez and José Rojas, 35 and 38 years old respectively, emerged as alternatives. And although at the moment there is nothing wave around the return of the historical, the mere mention produced an internal shake in Blue Blue.
Thus, following noon, the resignation of the directors Eduardo and Daniel Schapira, who had been part of the board of directors since the presidency of José Yuraszeck, which ended in mid-2015 to make way for the cycle of Carlos Heller, was made public.
According to data handled by RedGol, there are several situations that caused the departure of the businessmen, and one of the main problems was the way of working of the new helmsman, Michael Clark, who locked himself in his iron circle, along with Roggiero.
The news of Rodríguez and Pepe Rojas made the Schapira indigestible, despite the fact that they had been warned that the dissolution of the Football Commission was aimed at empowering the figure of the ideologue of Independiente del Valle in command of the first team.
Eduardo Schapira himself explained his decision on radio ADN. “It is not because of Pepe Rojas and Matías Rodríguez. Basically, the directory is painted,” said the former leader, in clear rejection of the position he had in the new blue organizational chart.
Daniel and Eduardo Schapira are leaving the board of directors of Azul Azul, but will continue with their share package; while the possible return of Rodríguez and Rojas claims its first victims.
For this reason, do not be surprised if Azul Azul withdraws from the veteran duo. In fact, the priority remains with the young Huachipato defender Ignacio Tapia, who in the U hopes to finalize this week, when the promotion final between the steelers and Deportes Copiapó is settled.
