The question about who will be the new coach of Mouth Juniors is maintained, while the current interim DT Mariano Herron will rotate soccer players to receive Colón next Sunday at the Bombonera, for the tenth date of the Professional League Football (LPF).
Also his compatriot Jorge Bermúdez, member of the Football Council and member of the delegation in Venezuela, left a message to the journalistic guard waiting in Ezeiza: “Keep throwing names…”.
For now, the “Boca world” awaits a resolution on the new coach, which is an exclusive task of the head of the Football Council and second vice president of the club, Juan Román Riquelme.
The plane from Venezuela, where the team drew goalless last night against Monagas, landed after 11 today and the delegation, after agreeing to the demand for photos of the fans present, boarded a bus to the Training Center that the club the Ribera has in Ezeiza.
On that property, Riquelme -who did not travel to the Bolivarian country- has been working for days to resolve the succession of Hugo Ibarra, fired by the “xeneize” club on Tuesday March 28.
The secrecy regarding the name of the new coach is absolute, but the versions that indicated that it would be known in the next few hours and that he will be present on the field next Sunday, when Boca faces “Sabalero”, are fading with the passage of time. the hours
As Télam learned, despite the silence that prevails in the club, one of the technicians with whom there were polls was Jorge Almirón.
The coach, who arrived from Mexico -where he lives- last Wednesday, Román always liked, and it was in his plans when he took over as manager of Boca, at the end of 2019, but he finally decided on Miguel Russo.
At the moment, the squad is under the orders of interim coach Mariano Herrón, who won a victory over Barracas Central in the Professional League and last night’s tie for the Copa Libertadores.
The DT from the Reserve will be again on the substitute bench against Colón, a rival against whom he will start with a rotation, due to the series of matches between the local and international arena.
It’s more: there are many who think that Herrón would also be the coach in the classic against San Lorenzo that will be played on Wednesday April 12 from 4:30 p.m. at the Nuevo Gasómetro.
The decision that is made by the leadership is that they will not go looking for Diego Martínez, Tigre’s coach, who was one of the most mentioned, but finally Boca gave up since he has a contract with the “Matador” until the middle of the year .
The other one that sounds like is José Pekerman: some say that it would be the card up the sleeve of the Football Council, and some rule it out because they think that at the age of 73, the coach who won several titles with the Argentine Under 20 team, would not want to expose himself to the rigor of the “day to day” of Boca.
Behind these names is the famous “covered up” who nobody knows who he is and who is used for a lot of speculation, ranging from the “illogical” of a possible return of Carlos Bianchi, on vacation in Europe, to Tité, the recent coach of the Brazilian team in the World Cup in Qatar 2022.
As for Sunday’s match against Colón, it is expected that there will be a rotation of players, and surely among those who rest will be Sebastián Villa and Darío Benedetto.
Miguel Merentiel, with a discomfort in his left hamstring, will not be part of the game and it will be seen if he will be able to be on Wednesday against San Lorenzo.
The one who would take his place as the right winger again is the Peruvian winger Luis Advíncula and in the middle Cristian Medina, Ezequiel “Equi” Fernández and the Paraguayan midfielder Oscar Romero would once again be the starters.
Boca will play on Sunday from 9:30 p.m. against Colón de Santa Fe for the tenth date of the Professional League, with the arbitration of Leandro Rey Hilfer.
Later, on Wednesday the 12th, they will visit San Lorenzo from 4:30 p.m. for the eleventh date of the Professional League.
