Coudet leads the race to succeed Gallardo at River | OneFootball

After Muñeco’s resignation, the Millonario management is already working on hiring Chacho as his replacement.

Less than a day after Marcelo Gallardo officially announced his resignation as River’s coach due to poor results in recent matches, the Millonario management is already working on bringing in Eduardo Coudet as his replacement, aiming to speed up negotiations this weekend so he can take over as soon as possible.

It’s worth noting that although he is currently employed as coach of Alavés in Spain, a team he saved from relegation last season and is once again fighting to keep in the top division, Chacho was offered by his agent Christian Bragarnik, starting the initial talks.

There is optimism at the Nuñez club and they believe that Coudet will seize the chance to be River’s coach, as he has been waiting for this opportunity for many years. The only issue to resolve is the former Rosario Central coach’s desire not to leave his current team on bad terms, ending his contract early and leaving the club to fend for itself in the battle to stay at the top of Spanish football.

The Argentine’s contract with the Basque club runs until June of this year and does not have a release clause, but rather than wait, River is confident he can take over after Monday’s match against Independiente Rivadavia in Mendoza, since the goal is to keep the transition short.

While Gallardo will say goodbye on Thursday at El Monumental against Banfield, Coudet could do the same at the Ciutat de Valencia Stadium this Friday, when his team visits Levante in a key clash at the bottom of LaLiga.
