Bochini backs Quinteros as new Independiente boss | OneFootball

The greatest idol in Independiente’s history, Ricardo Enrique Bochini, stated that the Avellaneda team is “doing very well” by hiring Gustavo Quinteros as the new coach.

After a year and five months, coach Julio César Vaccari resigned from his position on Saturday following the defeat against Banfield, and the “Rojo” management moved quickly to secure his replacement, who will be Quinteros, whose last stint was with Gremio de Porto Alegre in Brazil and who won the league with Vélez in the Professional League during the last semester of last year.

The one who approved his arrival was Bochini, a voice more than authorized in everything related to Independiente: “Independiente made a good choice in bringing in Quinteros. I liked him in all the teams he’s been with, especially his last spell at Vélez. He fits the characteristics of Independiente; he goes after the game on every field, both home and away. That’s important because that’s how we play.”

“He needs to focus on building a team that gets into the opponent’s box, that creates chances. You might end up losing playing that way, but he’ll have the support of the fans. I know how Independiente supporters are, and they like to be protagonists in the game,” he added.

The man who wore the Avellaneda shirt for 19 uninterrupted years assured that “Independiente has a good squad. There are four or five teams that have more, but the rest do not. There are no teams that are much superior. Although the reinforcements are not performing as expected, we have to see if they can raise their level in these matches. If they don’t qualify among the top eight, it would be very bad at this moment; they should win these remaining matches.”

“The departure of Álvaro Angulo and the injury to Sebastián Valdez broke up the defense. The slump of several players who didn’t perform as they did in the previous tournament caused Independiente to start this semester badly,” he concluded.
