Many went to sleep with the triumph of D’Onofrio and get up with the triumph of Passarella.
- Until the last moment there was a minimal difference between Rodolfo D’Onofrio and Daniel Passarella, when only 3% of the tables was left the difference by 6 votes was in favor of D’Onofrio.
- ‘A final vote to vote count, not suitable for the faint of heart defined the results.
- At 11:05pm it was decided to recount the votes due to the minimal difference.
- At 11:15pm by two votes in favor, Rodolfo D’Onofrio was declared as new president of River and Enzo Francescoli as his manager, “well here starts the problem:
Rodolfo D’Onofrio says he reportedly received from the computer center the news that ‘He had won by two votes’, but as had not yet finished counting, we rely on their word’ .
But the count continued and at 02:00 am from the datacenter is announced that ‘by 6 votes Mr. Daniel Passarella is the new President of River.”
Now D’Onofrio takes legal action.
Nothing is easy at River…
