A new general secretary will help handle the affairs of the Philippine Football Federation following the appointment of Mikhail Kristopher “Coco” Torre to the post.
Torre, who previously worked at the federation’s media department and the Philippine Football League, officially took over last Sunday.
The change came following the resignation of Atty. Edwin Gastanes last Sept. 30, weeks before the PFF holds its quadrennial elections, which is slated this November.
With his new job, Torre will also take on the role of PFF Head of Competitions and commissioner of the Philippines Football League, after his appointment was approved by the PFF Executive Committee Sept. 23 following the endorsement of PFF president Mariano Araneta Jr.
“We have trust and confidence in Coco Torre, a young and dynamic leader, who has demonstrated tremendous work ethic and integrity in carrying out different roles in the PFF in the past,” said Araneta.
Torre, who said his job will last only until the elections, looks forward to working closely with Araneta for the remainder of his term.
“I look forward to a more collaborative PFF that further empowers stakeholders in our efforts to promote and develop football in the country. I look forward to working closely with him for the remainder of my term,” he said.
