Riquelme chose the new coach of Boca Juniors: It is finalized

Boca Juniors have already defined who will take the helm of the team for the second half of the year and, especially, the challenge of the Club World Cup: Miguel Ángel Russo will return to the xeneize bench. The coach, currently in full competition with San Lorenzo, was chosen by Juan Román Riquelme to take on a new cycle leading the club. Conversations have already taken place, and although it has not been made official, the agreement is sealed.

It will be Russo's third stint at La Ribera club, at a crucial moment in the season. With San Lorenzo on the brink of a possible final in the Apertura Tournament, the coach will remain at the helm of Ciclón until its conclusion. If they win this Sunday against Platense, his stay will extend one more week, but that will not alter Boca's plans, as they await him patiently.

Miguel Ángel Russo returns to Boca Juniors

Within the azulgrana club, his departure is already taken for granted, even before the official announcement. The earliest scenario for his arrival would be Tuesday, May 27, in the event of San Lorenzo's elimination. If they reach the final, his arrival at Boca will be postponed until June 2 when he is free of commitments.

Russo will arrive to prepare the squad for the Club World Cup, where Boca will face a demanding group: they will debut on June 16 against Benfica in Miami, continue on the 20th against Bayern Munich, and close on the 24th against Auckland City. In this context, the management considered it essential to have a coach with knowledge of the club and international experience, something that Russo perfectly embodies. Everything indicates that Xeneize will once again have an old familiar face at the helm.
