Tebas re-elected as La Liga president for second term

The official, who was first elected in 2013 before overseeing a television broadcasting reform in Spain, has now been confirmed for a second term

La Liga has confirmed that Javier Tebas will continue as president for a second four-year term, with the incumbent winning the elections unopposed.

Tebas was the only one left standing after Eibar president Alex Aranzabal pulled out of the running earlier this month.

The league had provisionally confirmed that Tebas had been elected last week, and a statement on the league’s official website on Tuesday confirmed the news.

Tebas, who was initially elected as president in 2013, oversaw the centralisation of television broadcasting rights in Spanish football during his first term.
