Javier Tebas has been re-elected for a fourth term as the President of the Spanish La Liga after running unopposed. Tebas, 61, had resigned in November in order to seek a fourth term and was the only candidate. He assumed the Presidency of La Liga for the first time in April 2013 and was re-elected in 2016 and 2019.
This was announced by La Liga governing body in a statement issued on its official website.
The statement read, "The Electoral Commission of the National Professional Football League (LaLiga)...has agreed to the definitive proclamation of Javier Tebas Medrano as president of the National Professional Football League, for a period of four years,"
Tebas, the former president of Huesca football club, is credited with reforming Spanish football's TV rights bargaining by centralizing a system which previously relied on clubs negotiating individually.
He has butted heads with the presidents of Real Madrid and Barcelona over their support for a proposed European Super League.
And he has raised hackles abroad with his criticism of clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, arguing that their Gulf-based ownership amounts to "financial doping".
Since his assumption in the office of the La liga president, Tebas has been tremendously committed to move the League forward, and European football at large.
