Brazilian eyes Boca job: “one day it will happen, for sure” | OneFootball

While Boca is preparing to start the preseason, a former Brazilian footballer expressed his desire to become the team's coach in the future, although he admitted he is not yet ready for it.

This is Felipe Melo, who has often expressed his passion for the Xeneize. Now, the winner of several Copa Libertadores titles has stated that he would like to coach the team from La Ribera. “I'm not ready yet, but one day it will happen, for sure”, he said in a video posted on his Instagram account.

On the other hand, the Rio de Janeiro native praised Juan Román Riquelme and his role as president of the club from La Ribera: “I'm not the right person to talk about Román because I care about him a lot, for me, he is the best president for Boca, the most suitable person to be president for Boca.”

He also stated, “I think he will build a very strong team to try to win the Libertadores and regain the CONMEBOL stage. He is a guy who, apart from being a Boca idol, has Boca in his heart, everything he does is for the best of Boca, so for me, he is the best.”

Boca seeks reinforcements

The management continues to work on closing signings, but has not yet succeeded with any. The arrival of Marino Hinestroza from Colombia is stalled due to financial differences between Atlético Nacional and the player, as the Verdolaga wants to retain a percentage of a future sale.
