Former goalkeeper wants to be a president

One of the best goalkeeper of all time (unfortunately) has retired from this sport couple of days ago, while at the beginning of the week confirmed that he is planning to run for the top function in his country.
(With absolute right) Iker Casillas want to lead the Spanish football association where the new president according to regulations have to be elected at the second half of the year or after the Olympic games in Tokyo this summer. But the league leaders wants to rush with the proceedings and they are proposing to have the election before the European championship (which is scheduled for 12 June).
