Boca to tell Úbeda he's out, replacement vote date set | OneFootball

This Monday, a meeting will take place in which the Xeneize leadership will officially inform Sifón of his departure from the club.

It has been known that Claudio Úbeda will stop being Boca’s head coach from the moment Wilmar Roldán blew the final whistle in the match between Xeneize and Universidad Católica last Thursday on Matchday 6 of Group D of the Copa Libertadores. Sifón’s side lost 1-0 and were eliminated from the continental tournament in the first round.

There were even doubts about his continuity even if Boca had reached the Libertadores round of 16. Sifón arrived at the club as Miguel Ángel Russo’s assistant coach in mid-2025. Miguel’s passing led the leadership to choose to keep his coaching staff in charge of the first team, but the reality is that his contract was set to expire on June 30.

This Monday there will be a meeting between Boca’s leadership—Marcelo Delgado is expected to be the leading figure—and Claudio Úbeda, and there they will inform him that he will not continue in charge of the team. Although his contract expires at the end of June, it will be terminated in the coming days.

When will the next coach take over?

Boca’s squad is on vacation until June 18. The leadership’s intention is for Claudio Úbeda’s successor to take over before the start of preseason, which will take place in Buenos Aires. That could change if the chosen one is Néstor Lorenzo, who will manage the Colombia national team at the World Cup.

It is worth noting that he is not the only candidate being considered by the leadership; they also like Luis Zubeldía and Antonio Mohamed, although the latter is going through a great spell at Toluca in Mexico and has already said that he has no intention of leaving that team. Zubeldía, meanwhile, is in charge of Fluminense, so his departure would not be simple either.
