Racing Club is currently navigating a period of intense political and athletic tension following a difficult 2026 sports season. Criticism toward the current leadership has intensified, most recently highlighted by remarks from former club official Daniel Garcia, who served under former president Victor Blanco.

During an appearance on the program Somos Racing, Garcia heavily criticized the management style and institutional performance of the current club president, Diego Milito. The former official did not hold back in his assessment of the administration's direction.

"When Milito did not touch anything, we became champions. When he started meddling, he broke everything. We began to lose leaders and a sense of belonging," Garcia stated. He further claimed that the institution lacks proper leadership and labeled the current state of affairs as anarchic.

Garcia went on to compare the present situation to historically critical moments for the institution, warning about the future of the professional squad. He asserted that severe decision-making mistakes were made by both Milito and Sebastian Saja, while dismissing rumors that Saja might leave his position due to their ongoing political alliance.

Regarding infrastructure, Garcia addressed the development of the training facility in Ezeiza. He claimed that the project was originally initiated during the previous administration and questioned the final costs incurred to complete the work, alleging that expenses significantly exceeded initial projections.

The former executive also raised concerns regarding the club's membership structure, pointing out a disproportionate balance between active members and lifetime members. He urged the leadership to provide clear explanations and called on the president to apologize to the members for the administrative mismanagement over the past year.

Despite his sharp criticism, Garcia clarified that he does not support an early departure of the current board of directors. He concluded by stating that if leadership calls for unity, he would be willing to collaborate to help reverse the club's current trajectory.
