Bochini backs Quinteros as new Independiente manager | OneFootball

The greatest idol in the history of Independiente, 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 on Saturday following the defeat against Banfield, and the "Rojo" management moved quickly to secure his replacement, who will be Quinteros, recently with Gremio of Porto Alegre in Brazil and champion with Vélez in the Professional League last semester.

The one who approved his arrival was Bochini, a more than authorized voice in everything related to Independiente: “Independiente made a good choice in bringing Quinteros. I liked him in all the teams he was with, especially the last stint at Vélez. He fits the characteristics of Independiente, he seeks to win matches on all fields, both home and away. That's important because we play that way.”

“He needs to focus on building a team that reaches the opponent's area, the goal, that creates opportunities. You might end up losing playing that way, but he will have the support of the fans, I know how the Independiente fans are and they like to be protagonists of the game,” he added.

Who wore the Avellaneda jersey uninterruptedly for 19 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 vastly superior teams. 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 is very bad for this moment, they should win these remaining matches.”

“The departure of Álvaro Angulo and the injury of Sebastián Valdez dismantled the defense. The slump of several players who did not perform as in the other championship caused Independiente to start this semester poorly,” he concluded.
