Based in Argentina for family reasons, he received a call from the management – it could even have been before Domínguez left – who tried to sound him out in a first positive contact: El Mellizo responded that he is interested in the project and returning to coach in the country in a team that has already demonstrated its potential and will play in the Copa Libertadores.
El Mellizo, who has already held informal talks, agreed to have a face-to-face meeting, which will be this Tuesday afternoon at the coach’s house. If progress is made, the economic issue will have to be resolved, with a club that was greatly affected in its coffers by the frustrated sale of Valentín Gómez to the Foster Gillett group seeking to hire a last-minute coach for a national team – Paraguay – with the salary level that implies.
The other name that sounded strong is that of Carlos Tevez, who already had steps through Rosario Central in 2022 and through Independiente between 2023 and 2024. Carlitos, a historic striker for the Argentine National Team and Boca, with an extensive career in Europe in clubs such as Manchester United, Manchester City and Juventus, has been without a team since May of last year, when he resigned from the Rojo due to poor results after a good start. However, it later transpired that he would have been discarded.
How Guillermo Barros Schelotto would arrive at Vélez
With a career in Lanús, Palermo of Italy, Boca, Los Ángeles Galaxy and the Paraguay national team, the coach harvested the Copa Sudamericana with the Granate in 2013 and the 2017 and 2018 championship with the Xeneize, where as a counterpart he was marked as the leader of the team that lost to River the final of the Libertadores 2018 in Madrid.
He led the Albirroja for 17 matches, with four wins, four draws and nine losses, before being fired in September 2023 due to poor results.
What will be the role of Borghi, Vidallé and Domenech in Argentinos?
Argentinos does. It can make mistakes or even be criticized by some of its own fans, but it continues to do, innovate and build. From thinking of a new grandstand with studio apartments to rent to making an alliance with an ice cream shop to create the “El Semillero del Mundo” flavor, a kind of strawberry with American cream.
Beyond the avant-garde marketing strategies and the works in all the premises, the leadership pursues a sporting objective that was not far away since Cristian Malaspina took over the presidency: obtaining the sixth star.
Being crowned in the Primera Nacional was very important, especially because of the way in which Gabriel Heinze’s team achieved it. However, given the history and current situation of the club, it is not enough. El Bicho flirted with playing a final on three occasions: Copa de la Superliga 2019 (lost to Boca), Copa Argentina 2021 (lost again to Xeneize) and Copa de la Liga 2024 (eliminated by Vélez). The course has been set for a while. That’s why they continue to add extremely quality crew members to the ship.
Yllana, the moral table and the harsh reality of Aldosivi
A taste of little in the port. A draw that doesn’t help him playing at home, a draw that could have been a victory against a direct rival due to relegation. Andrés Yllana knows that the performance has improved: it’s not enough but it excites him. He understands that this is the way. It was 2 to 2 in a great game. Nobody gave two cents to this duel that ended up being a fast-paced back and forth. Sarmiento may have done his business, Aldosivi knows that he lost two points.
The championship continues and time is shortening beyond the improvement of performance, of some points obtained and the conquest of time that the coach needed to amalgamate his team. It is time to win and add up. Now Tigre comes on Sunday at 5 pm, a team that is so on the rise that it is the leader and will go to Mardel to win. A tough rival for a rebound.
Without a doubt, the mood of the port leadership is one of understanding, patience and empathy. If they had handled themselves with the impulse of not having won at home against a direct rival like Sarmiento, on another occasion perhaps the DT would have already flown through the air.
