Atlético Tucumán v Aldosivi: Falcioni set for dugout debut | OneFootball

The Dean will face the Shark this Wednesday from 22:00 at the Monumental José Fierro for the 10th round of the 2026 Apertura Tournament.

Atlético Tucumán will host Aldosivi this Wednesday from 22:00 at the Monumental José Fierro Stadium, in a match corresponding to the 10th round of the 2026 Apertura Tournament. The match will mark the debut of Julio César Falcioni as the coach of the Dean, who returns to coaching after more than a year and a half away from the activity.

The historic coach, known for his style of organized and pragmatic teams, arrives with the mission to reorganize a battered Atlético Tucumán after the tough 3-0 defeat against Racing at home in the previous round. That match exposed defensive problems and a lack of connection between the lines, aspects that the new coaching staff will seek to quickly correct to start earning points.

In this context, Falcioni himself, at 69 years old, anticipated the challenge with a phrase that reflects the team's moment: “Let's hope to park two buses: one in front of the other and start earning points”. The Emperor, with stints at clubs like Banfield, Boca, and Independiente, thus returns to take on an urgent challenge in Argentine football.

On the other side will be an Aldosivi that is also going through a complicated present. The team led by Guillermo Farré comes from a 2-0 loss against Banfield and has accumulated four defeats in eight rounds, which has left them at the bottom of their zone's table and also in the annual table.

Another worrying fact for the Mar del Plata team is their low offensive production, as they have scored only two goals in eight matches, a statistic that reflects the difficulties in maintaining territorial dominance and turning it into clear goal-scoring opportunities.

Probable lineup for Atlético Tucumán: Tomás Durso; Leonel Di Plácido, Gianluca Ferrari or Clever Ferreira, Gastón Suso, Ignacio Galván; Renzo Tesuri, Kevin Ortiz, Javier Domínguez, Nicolás Laméndola; Martín Benítez and Carlos Abeldaño. Coach: Julio César Falcioni.
