Coudet denies River contact but says he would listen to an offer | OneFootball

Eduardo Coudet has dismissed talk of River contact, insisting there has been no formal approach, though he indicated he would listen to any offer.

Speaking in Spain before Deportivo Alavés face Levante UD in LaLiga, he addressed growing links as River seek Marcelo Gallardo’s successor. According to SuperDepor.com, his name has gathered momentum.

He said nobody from River had contacted him or his agent, underlining the point by swearing on his four children.

Coudet praised River’s stature, saying consideration reflects his career, and placed the club alongside Real Madrid and Barcelona. He noted Gallardo’s exit shapes a unique context after one of the most influential recent eras.

He took charge of Alavés in December 2024 and has overseen 53 competitive matches, a mixed yet competitive run while fighting for survival. The team reached the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.

He revealed Rosario Central called weeks ago about a return, but he chose to remain in Europe to continue the project and because of the cup campaign. Asked about a concrete offer, he refused to speculate and kept the focus on the present. Inside River, his name still leads the list of candidates, with no talks publicly confirmed as the transition advances.
