The end of Luis Medina Cantalejo In the presidency of Referee Technical Committee (CTA) It was an open secret for months. It was necessary to know when it would occur. The way in which the Federation decided to end the arbitration dome of our football occurred on Thursday morning. That same day it was decided to communicate to everyone. In the case of the former president It was “very bad ways” and after a meeting in which he was not present.
After a meeting in the city of football, the cessations and the official statement of the renewal of the CTA board arrived. But to the arbitral mandamás nobody told him his cessation at the headquarters of the committee he presided. In fact, Medina Cantalejo I wasn't in Las Rozas. Not even in Madrid. He was in Seville, his hometown, at the time he received the news.
The decision was made behind them. Everything pointed to his dismissal would occur this week, after The meeting in which the reform of the arbitration system would be addressed. In it, as expected, the until then president of the referees was not cited. Nor was he contained face -to -face that the decision made was to end his stage at the head of the CTA.
Throughout the last years, in which the Andalusian has been leading the arbitration estate, its strong character has been noticed in its few appearances. Hence the relationship with RFEF It has not finished the best in the ways. Considers that Its cessation has occurred from behinddespite the fact that his pupils in the last three and a half years wrapped him just a few days ago before Louzán.
Medina Cantalejo falls and her dome
He has welcome him to have the confidence of the referees he directed. In the restructuring which are being carried out to three bands the federation, the league and the clubs themselves do not fit the continuity of the dome of the arbitration collective. The wear is evident, due to the successive scandals and the considerable discredit by the controversial actions. Therefore, not only has he dismissed him, but the person responsible for the VAR, Clos Gómez; to the deputy to the presidency, Pérez Rubines; y Lizondo Cortés, Lesma López y Gonzalez Vázquez, that were the three vice presidents.
The latter have been notified in person the cessation of their functions. Not like a Medina Cantalejo, that was in Seville. In this way, the dome of heirs of the time of Negreira falls. After Rubiales arrived at the Presidency of the RFEF in 2018, they were promoted to all of them, once Sánchez Arminio, Enriquez Negreira and yours were dismissed. First, Velasco Carballo was appointed president, relieved by Sevillian in 2021 when he left to UEFA.
In recent years, marked by the loss of confidence of all actors in the world of football, including FIFA and clubs, they have come to an end. From the arrival of Louzán In December, his position has been hitting a thread, which has finally broken. The arbitral reform will be integral and, for this, it has been decided to throw all the high positions of the committee. Some changes that, on the other hand, were more than necessary.
