MADRID -- La Liga has provisionally elected Javier Tebas to a second four-year term as president. Tebas ran unopposed after Alex Aranzabal ended his proposed candidacy on Tuesday, a day before the deadline for candidates to register. The Spanish league is composed of 42 first- and second-division teams in Spain. La Liga said on Wednesday that Tebas will be officially confirmed as president on Oct. 11. The 54-year-old Tebas is a lawyer. He was first elected league president in 2013, running unopposed. His biggest success during his first term was consolidating the sale of television rights for Spanish football under the league's control.
