Michael García Caba appointed as head of Integrity in the RFEF

They will not have seen it in any statement, nor is it a hype and cymbal appointment like when, years ago, the RFEF boasted of its Vice President of Integrity, Ana Muñoz. This time it has been, for whatever reason, an internal thing. A award Whithout ads. Michael the lawyerGarcía Caba climbs a new position within the Federation, from which not even a year ago he was about to leave through the back door. She is now in charge, neither more nor less, than Integrity.

And riseor whatever, which draws even more attention due to all the controversy that surrounds García Caba after his fall from grace, within the Federation itself. He came close to being fired and, when he saw his continuity of work at home at its worst, he recorded a meeting with the president of LaLiga and returned with her to the RFEF, reconquering a position of privilege from which he was out. He is now responsible for Integrity.

“The president does not want you here,” they told him from Luis Rubiales’ cabinet in Seville, a few hours before the Europa League final between Glasgow Rangers and Eintracht. They were his lowest hours in the Federation. Desperate, he sought a solution by meeting with the president of LaLiga to try to find a professional outlet. He had the integrity to record that entire meeting to later return to the RFEF with her and improve her employment situation exponentially.

replaces in office Elvira Andrés, who in turn replaced the aforementioned Ana Muñoz when she decided to leave the RFEF after various disagreements with Luis Rubiales and its closest environment. Andrés, for the moment, is still in the RFEF, but away from the aforementioned Integrity area.

several falls from grace

the one in Seville It was not the first time that García Caba fell out of favor in the Federation. To be contextualized: he has previously worked in both LaLiga and Real Madrid, which speaks highly of his ability to adapt to any front, having played in three institutional “eternal rivals”, each with different aspects of he.

First, before Seville, he was dismissed as director of legal services of the RFEF to name Pedro González Segura. García Caba was offered a position that did not exist until then: general deputy secretary, as a kind of deputy to Andreu Camps, the general secretary and strong man (together with another lawyer, Tomás González Cueto) of the Federation. It seemed like a promotion to the “hard core” of President Rubiales, but it did not last long.

His labor crisis reached its peak in Seville when he seemed to have a foot and a half outside the RFEF… until that meeting with Tebas and Gerardo González came. He acknowledged in an interview with OK Diario having recorded the president of LaLiga. “Thebes tried to buy me,” he said then. “I don’t sell myself,” he added.

Now the RFEF has a new person in charge of Integrity, one of the members of the controversial “work days” with friends” of Salobreña. A lawyer specializing in sports law, with extensive experience on all possible fronts, undeniable skills for job survival and indisputable legal prestige in his field. He is he third person in charge of Integrity in the Federation since 2018.

He wants to make it very clear how many World Cups and Euro Cups he has covered because he has a terrible midlife crisis in the middle of a newsroom full of kids, but we suspect several.
