La Liga president Javier Tebas is considering resigning from his position following allegations about his involvement with Fuenlabrada., Report says, citing foreign press.
Tebas asked Segunda club Fuenlabrada for €130k for providing ‘legal advisory services’ in 2018, as reported by El Diario, which he had not declared.
Previously, the league chief had declared that two years earlier, his son had entered onto the board of directors at the club – then in Segunda B, and outside La Liga’s jurisdiction.
Tebas was elected to the presidency of La Liga in 2013 and re=elected for a four-year term in 2019.
The league chief usually courts controversy and is rarely withdrawn in his comments – he is behind the league’s attempts to play a fixture in the United States. He has had a long-running feud with the Spanish FA over that issue and several other matters, including fixture scheduling.
