Former AFA Coach Accuses Talleres President of Sexual Misconduct

Buenos Aires, March 9 (NA) – The former coach and son of the former president of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), Humberto Grondona, attacked the president of Talleres de Córdoba, Andrés Fassi, accusing him of having 'oral sex with the current leadership' of the albiceleste football. In an interview on the 'El Show de los Grandes' program, broadcast on Splendid AM 990 and to which the Argentine News Agency had access, the former coach of the Argentina U20 national team pointed to the Córdoba team's executive for his change of stance regarding the leadership of Claudio Tapia at the AFA and in the context of River Plate's recent departure from the entity's Executive Committee meetings: 'River's anger was from the beginning, I understand that more teams are going to join, but evidently, at this moment they are afraid of something. Arsenal later played badly or well and lost. Apart from River, Boca and Lanús now with the sale of this kid Rodrigo Castillo, more or less comes out. The Primera Nacional has an important budget and does not receive the money it should receive,' he added. Continuing his analysis, Grondona stated: 'There are clubs in the Primera that are the same. In the month it has 2 million and only 3 million in expenses. There are people who contribute, there is private capital that contributes, and that is what they want to deny. If there were no people, or governments, or municipalities. It is not that he apologized and saved himself from relegation. There were no ghosts.'
