On January 31, 2024, the mandate of the Quito League Football Commission ends. Esteban Paz along with his work team will no longer be responsible for the white boxafter spending several years leading the team management.
At the members’ meeting on January 9, It was decided not to extend the contractual relationship with the Football CommissionRegarding this fact, Esteban Paz referred in an interview cwith journalists Fabián Gallardo and Stalin Cobeña from the Las Voces del Fútbol program on Radio Cobertura.
«I am not going to damage the image of LDU, the logical thing was to have an adequate transition where powers are transferred in a correct way and not that there is any uncertainty that harms the club. Once Isaac Álvarez won the presidency of the club, I saw a radical change in him. That change didn’t make me feel comfortable with the way Isaac began to approach things. “That is my position,” Paz said.
«I very much respect what he could have decided, I would have thought that a person I knew for about 12 or 13 years the reaction would have been different«he added.
«Each time the gap and distance with Isaac grew wider. What worried me a lot is that if he made the decision to take charge of the team, the logical thing was for him to be involved in the day-to-day, cash flow, negotiations, purchase options, everything so that he has the range of information, it was never internalized,” he added.
Paz indicated that the relationship with Isaac Álvarez was broken after the match against Defensa y Justicia for the second leg semifinal of the Copa Sudamericana. In a meeting, the president of the League told Esteban: «I don’t know what will happen next year. We haven’t decided. The truth is that power ends.
Now, the administration of both the team and club became managed by the president of the institution, Isaac Álvarez, who began his efforts on January 9 to put together the squad that will play this season.
