Domínguez hints at staying with Estudiantes after 2026 celebrations | OneFootball

The coach assured that his continuity "depends on Marcos (Angeleri)," amid the uncertainty about his contract renewal. The fans cheered him during the celebrations at Plaza Moreno, following the victory in the Champions Trophy and the Clausura.

Eduardo Domínguez, head coach of Estudiantes de La Plata, sent a strong message to the fans about his future at the club, amid the celebrations at Plaza Moreno after the victory in the Champions Trophy (after defeating Platense in San Nicolás) and also in the Clausura Tournament.

"Ole le, ola la, the Barba belongs to the Pincha, the Pincha he won't leave," sang the fans during the celebration. At that moment, the coach passed the ball to the management: "I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, but it depends on Marcos (Angeleri), not on me."

In growth, we all have to try to support, see, build, have self-criticism. From there, something good will always come out. Hopefully, it will be, of course, with Eduardo at the helm," affirmed the Brujita on TyC Sports after the victory against Racing, when asked about the coach's continuity.
