Football's top managers have become untouchables, similar to the politicians who run their countries, also because of the great influence the sport has on its supporters.
It seems that the power they have allows the leaders of the federations to do things unthinkable to others. Claudio Fabian Tapia gave the confirmation this week .
The head of the Argentine Football Federation, it seems, is too lazy to wipe the sweat off his neck himself and for that reason, he has assigned an official of the organization he leads to do so and make him fresh in the full sense of the word. speech as he watches the matches.

The following footage was recorded during the semi-final of the Copa America between Argentina and Canada, where a sweaty Tapia had one of the federation officials sitting behind him wiping his neck and putting a cloth on him to keep the manager cool in the intense heat in stadium.
"I had a high temperature all these days and I was not feeling well. I couldn't even move, but I didn't want to lose the game. That's why Luciano Nakis was there to accompany me. We are a team on and off the field," he said.
The video has gone viral on social networks where commentators have had numerous criticisms. After that came the recovery of the head of the Federation, who tried to justify himself.
