And he concluded with a phrase that fills everyone with hope that he will continue at the club: "We hope to be better next year."

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