After San Lorenzo’s elimination, the ‘Xeneize’ aims for the coach to start his third cycle at the club as soon as possible.
The Boca Juniors Football Council has chosen Miguel Ángel Russo to become their new coach following the departure of Fernando Gago. With San Lorenzo’s elimination against Platense in the semifinals of the 2025 Torneo Apertura, the ‘Xeneize’ directors aim to finalize his arrival in the coming hours.
Russo was at the helm of San Lorenzo in the last championship and may have coached his last game this Sunday in the 1-0 defeat against Platense at the Nuevo Gasómetro. The ‘Ciclón’ failed to advance to the final, so he could leave immediately.
“I don’t have to talk about that. I will speak when I decide, want to, and have fulfilled everything I need to go through,” said the coach in the press conference after the match.
Although his arrival is not yet official, Boca Juniors has everything prepared for Miguel Ángel Russo to have his third cycle as the first team’s coach at the institution.
The coach would match Mario Fortunato, José D’Amico, and Carlos Bianchi as the coaches who have led the team in three different stages.
Everything indicates that Russo, 69, will sign his release from San Lorenzo in the coming hours and will present himself to the Boca Juniors squad on Tuesday to start training for the Copa Argentina and the FIFA Club World Cup.
