Vicente del Bosque will chair the Supervision Commission created by the government to control the RFEF, immersed in a major crisis | Soccer | Sports

The Government of Spain announced this Tuesday morning the appointment of Vicente del Bosque as president of the Supervision, Normalization and Representation Commission created by the Higher Sports Council to oversee the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), mired in a serious crisis. The former Spain coach, the man with whom La Roja won the 2010 World Cup, will be the one who heads this Commission, promoted by the CSD to control the day-to-day life of the federation, chaired by Pedro Rocha who is accused in Operation Brodie and with a file opened by the Sports Administrative Tribunal (TAD) for very serious misconduct.

This was communicated by the Minister of Culture and Sports, Pilar Alegría, at the press conference of the Council of Ministers: “It is a pride to be able to announce that the person who will exercise the presidency and representation is Vicente del Bosque. Mr. Vicente del Bosque is going to be the face, he is going to be the representation of Spanish football.”

This commission was announced last Thursday by the president of the CSD, José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes, given the governance and reputational crisis that the RFEF is experiencing. “The situation of the Royal Spanish Football Federation requires high-mindedness and the Government is acting with seriousness, determination and responsibility. With the creation of this Supervision, Normalization and Representation Commission, the CSD preserves the general interest, in order to restore the reputation, good name and image of Spanish football and complete the electoral process with a renewed Assembly for the 2024 period. -2028″, Uribes stated in a note released by the CSD.

The CSD’s assertion that the members of this commission would be above the federation leaders caused the RFEF to request the intervention of FIFA and UEFA in the face of possible government interference. The response of both institutions was to send a letter last Friday to Rodríguez Uribes in which they requested, in five questions, information about the normalization commission and threatened to take measures if the response was not satisfactory and did not occur before the May 5th. Rodríguez Uribes responded with a forceful letter in which he asserted the sovereignty of the Spanish State and invited FIFA and UEFA to participate in the composition of the normalization committee.

Del Bosque’s name was always on the table to preside over the commission and represent the federation in the boxes of the next Euro Cup and the Olympic Games, once the current federation president, Pedro Rocha, could be provisionally suspended by the CSD and subsequently disqualified by the Sports Administrative Court for very serious misconduct by having exceeded his duties as head of the RFEF management commission.
