Aguirre on Boca: Nothing can distract me from our focus here | OneFootball

Uruguayan football was shaken in recent hours when the former president of Peñarol stated: “Of course I know that Boca wants Diego Aguirre.” Immediately afterward, it was only a matter of time before rumors and speculation about the possible arrival of the manya coach at Brandsen 805 to succeed the technical staff of Claudio Úbeda began to circulate strongly. And after hours of uncertainty, the main figure broke his silence.

“I don’t give much importance to the rumors,” Aguirre said in an interview with Punto Penal (Canal 10) and Polideportivo (Canal 12), trying to calm the controversy that had arisen in Montevideo. “I didn’t pay any attention to it. I heard some news, like so many others, and that’s all. There’s nothing that can distract me from what we have here, the upcoming matches, and the finals,” he added, focused on closing out the year with Peñarol.

The coach’s forceful statement aims to deactivate the alarms at a key moment for the Manya in the local championship, where they lead the Clausura, four points ahead of their closest rival, Nacional.

Nevertheless, the rumor seems likely to linger in the air. In fact, the club itself hasn’t completely closed the door on Boca’s inquiry. At least that’s what Peñarol’s current president, Ignacio Ruglio, showed, who, although he mentioned not knowing whether the approach from the xeneize side “is an offer or just interest,” sowed some doubts by postponing the matter. “It’s not something that worries me because it will be an issue for the summer,” he confirmed.

As if that weren’t enough, he also shifted some responsibility to the coach himself. “Diego will decide what he wants to do, and whatever he does, we’ll respect it. It would be strange, but I don’t rule it out,” he stated.

However, he insisted on showing optimism about Aguirre’s continuity. “Knowing him, nothing like that would cross his mind right now with everything Peñarol is playing for. In fact, he’s even asked me for players for next year,” he concluded. For now, the carousel of names, along with what could be a busy transfer market, is just getting started.
