Daniel Angelici

Daniel Angelici (born 3 May 1964) 'Daniel Angelici' (Buenos Aires, May 3, 1964) is an Argentine lawyer, entrepreneur and football executive. He was 33° President of Boca Juniors and Vice-President of the Argentine Football Association. With the support of former president of the club, Mauricio Macri, he won the presidency of Boca Juniors on December 4, 2011, defeating then president Jorge Amor Ameal. In the elections of 2015 he was reelected with 43,78% of the votes, thus managing to continue his term until December 2019. Biography During his youth he got involved in the Radical Civic Union at the University of Buenos Aires Law School. In recent years he has been a builder of alliances between radicals and macristas. He was pointed out of having closeness to the Judiciary, especially in the City of Buenos Aires. Angelici became one of the most important gambling entrepreneurs in Argentina, with an empire that led him to be the head of the Argentine Chamber of Bingo Halls and Annexes ("Cámara Argentina de Salas de Bingos y Anexos", abbreviated "CASBA"), with interests in five betting companies and a racehorse breeding farm. Angelici served until 2010 as treasurer of Boca Juniors during the management of Jorge Amor Ameal. It was the focus of a controversy in 2010 when he opposed the renewal of the contract of club's idol Juan Román Riquelme, because according to him, the institution could not afford to pay a high dollar contract for four years of an elderly player. Finally, the renewal of the contract was carried out due to the great interest of the former president of the club Ameal in continuing to count on Riquelme in the team. As a result, Angelici resigned his position as treasurer of the club.
