For his part, until now interim technical director Claudio Úbeda led his last practice at the head of the professional team on Wednesday.
The “Sifón” was at the forefront of the morning training and then said goodbye to those who were his directed during 13 games, with three wins, three losses and seven draws, since he assumed in the 2-2 draw against Newell’s Old Boys, of the sixth day, as a substitute for Juan Antonio Pizzi.
Both Úbeda and the rest of his coaching staff, led by Juan Ramón “Lagarto” Fleta and Carlos “Chiche” Arano, will return to their positions in the club’s lower divisions.
Fernando Gago, for his part, will seal his contract with the Avellaneda institution, his second team as coach after his departure from Aldosivi de Mar del Plata.
The former Boca Juniors and Real Madrid footballer, among other clubs, will be linked to La “Academia” until the end of 2022, a season in which Racing will face the local tournament, the Argentine Cup and, for now, the South American Cup.
Gago, 35, will lead his first training session at the head of the “albiceleste” squad on Thursday and next Saturday he will take charge of the team in the clash against Rosario Central at the Gigante de Arroyito, on the 18th date of the Professional Football League. .
The runner-up with the Argentine national team at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil will be officially presented on Thursday at noon after morning practice, through a press conference that will be held in person.
Racing Club will visit Rosario Central next Saturday from 8.15pm at the “Gigante de Arroyito” stadium, with arbitration by Leandro Rey Hilfer, in a match valid for date 18 of the Professional Football League, and later it will receive Defense and Justice , which is directed by none other than the former “academic” coach, Sebastián Beccacece, and it was for whom the former sports director, Diego Milito, bet, today the flag that fans fly to claim the leadership for the bad moment of the first team.
That is why Gago arrives with the intention of calming the waters, although “a priori” his lack of experience raises doubts, since in Aldosivi he led 26 games with seven wins, three draws and no less than 16 defeats, the last six in a row.
Gago had wanted to go before those half a dozen consecutive defeats accumulated but the leadership of the Mar del Plata club retained him, but his relationship, both with a good part of the squad and with the local media, was fissured. His football proposal is what attracts. His aide-de-camp, Federico Insúa, of clear reference to Independiente, not so much.
