AFA is divided between "oficialistas" and "legalistas", prompting an intervention of AFA and the appointment of Suárez-who is known as a good compromiser.
Government intervention leads to the appointment of Suárez, whose goals mirror key words of the 1960s in soccer: order, structure, modernization, and research-based solutions
1966-1970 (and up to 1973) was a time of constant intervention in AFA by the government. Suárez is sent to Europe to take control of a team in turmoil.
