According to various media, Pedro Rocha will be appointed chairman of the RFEF board; He will be in charge of the Federation until 2024.
It’s over: Luis Rubiales leaves the Royal Spanish Football Federation. The provisional chairman of the RFEF will no longer be so in the coming hours, after all that happened during – and after – the award ceremony of the Spanish women’s national team, champions of the World Cup played in New Zealand and Australia.
In this sense, the first name to replace Rubiales at the head of the Spanish Federation is Pedro Rocha, President of the Extremadura Federation. At least that’s how various media such as ‘AS’ or ‘Cadena Cope’ reported on Friday night.
On the other hand, according to the newspaper “Marca”, Pablo Lozano, president of the Andalusian territorial area, has other names associated with the relief of Rubiales in office. Elvira Andrés, one of the Vice Presidents, could also have possibilities such as Paco Díez, the maximum President of the territory of Madrid.
Who is Pedro Rocha, the president of the Extremadura Federation who would replace Luis Rubiales at the helm of the RFEF?
Just over five years later, Rubiales’ podium in the RFEF has come to an end. His departure or who will replace him has not been officially announced yet, but it would be natural if it were someone from the current board. According to various media outlets pointed out on Thursday evening, Pedro Rocha will become chairman of the board of directors and will replace him for the time being.
Rocha is currently the leader of the Extremadura Federation and also held the position of Vice President of the RFEF. This decision was taken after an hours-long meeting in Las Rozas, according to “Cadena Cope” and the newspaper “AS”.
Rocha is one of Rubiales’ trusted men. Businessman since 1993 and manager of three establishments, he devoted himself to futsal and came to play several seasons in the Division of Honor. He was also part of the board of directors and coaching staff of CP Cacereño.
In recent years, Rocha has developed his work as a manager at the Extremadura Football Association in various positions. Initially he was provincial deputy of Cáceres, then he rose to vice presidency and since 2013 he is president of his area.
