The Search for Dimayor’s New Leader
In a surprising turn of events,Dimayor finds itself without an official president following Fernando Jaramillo’s resignation. Jaramillo’s tenure concluded at the end of february, leaving a significant leadership void in one of Colombia’s most influential industries. As the clock ticks towards the assembly scheduled for March 11, the race to fill this vacancy heats up, with several potential candidates emerging from the shadows.
The Contenders Emerge
Initially, the spotlight was on Mauricio Correa, a long-time figure in Colombian football and VAR, and iván Novella, who was backed by Ramón Jesurún, the president of the Colombian football Federation (FCF). However, as the weeks progressed, these names have been overshadowed by more formidable contenders.
Carlos Mario Zuluaga: A Strong Contender
Carlos Mario Zuluaga stands out as a leading candidate. His impressive track record includes leading equity in the A process, coordinating the sale to the north American group Tylis Porter, and maintaining a significant role in the new administration of the Bogotá club. Zuluaga enjoys robust support from both the team and the so-called “boys,” who are keen on preserving their privileges. His extensive experience and connections within the football industry make him a formidable candidate.
An Unexpected Challenger
In a surprising twist, journalist Carlos Antonio Vélez revealed the emergence of a new contender: Juan David Pérez. Formerly the president of Atlético Nacional, Pérez brings a wealth of experience from both the football business and the private sector. His expertise is notably valuable for the upcoming marketing processes of Dimayor’s events. If Pérez secures the position, it would mark a shift from Jaramillo’s passionate support for Millonarios to a fervent allegiance to Atlético Nacional.
The Final Countdown
As the assembly approaches, the anticipation builds. The decision will not only shape the future of Colombian football but also determine the direction of one of the country’s most powerful industries. With strong candidates like Zuluaga and Pérez in the mix, the outcome remains uncertain. The football world watches with bated breath, eager to see who will step into the role of Dimayor’s next president.
