Javier Tebas named La Liga President for next four years

Madrid, Dec 24 (SocialNews.XYZ) Javier Tebas has been re-elected as the president of Spanish football league La Liga for the next four years.

Tebas, 57, had stepped down from the post last December but later had announced that he will be competing for the post. His new presidency was confirmed on Monday, with no candidate having run against him.

"Following the presentation of a single candidacy for the presidency of the La Liga Nacional de Futbol Profesional, and this being valid, Javier Tebas is definitively named president of LaLiga for a period of four years, without the need to hold an Extraordinary General Assembly," said La Liga in an official statement.

"A new political term is starting, where it is possible there may be laws and directives proposed which affect our institution and our interests," goal.com quoted him as saying.

"The person who has to do it should do so with the backing of the clubs at least for four years."

The 57-year-old has been in charge of Spain's top flight since replacing Jose Luis Astiazaran in 2013.

His past 18 months in the role have been marred by clashes with the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and its president Luis Rubiales.
